Just Us Girls Challenge #811 - Mood Board Week - Happy Birthday Coffee (SSD)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #811, where our wonderful Lisa has selected this lovely pretty-in-pink, coffee and floral themed photo as inspiration this week. 

 

Once again, we're delighted to have Denise Morgan joining us as our February Guest Designer.

If coffee (or something closely representing coffee) is presented as inspiration in any way, you can bet that I'll be reaching for my coffee collection from Simply Stated Design, as I've done here. Now, you may be wondering how my interpretation connects to the image, so let me explain. 

My card and photo connection:

One focal image - coffee/hot beverage with whipped topping, served on a saucer, with surrounding 'nibbles'
One predominant colour - pink in the image; 'coffee' in my version
Subdued, slightly blurred background - shelf/window on the photo; my 'soft hearts' and coffee splatters backgrounds.
Flowers
Warm, cozy vibe

So, while my card may not feature 'pink', I think it hits the notes of being inspired by and connected to by the photo. I hope you agree.


Please head to the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from Denise and the rest of my talented team.

Looking forward to seeing your interpretations in the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!

I saw this as a pretty cold chocolate beverage (maybe dessert?) with heart-shaped chocolates all around...and the flower tucked in on one side is such a pretty touch! What a fun and fabulous birthday card for someone!! Pretty and sweet!
