Cheeky Chatty Cups Be Alert Card

Greetings! Saturday is my day to share a project for Funky Fossil Designs. When I first saw the Cheeky Chatty Cups Clear Stamp Set, I knew that as a coffee addict, I had to have it. Then when I was watching a video release for the Artitude Collection, I saw the Brush It Off Clear Stamp Set, and the idea for this card sprung into my mind, but not because I ever mistakenly imbibed my paint water. However, now I don't use coffee mugs for paint water.

Walk This Way

Greetings! "Anything Goes" is our theme this week at Topflight Stamps.
