Coffee and Friends...MFTSCRAP2

Hi there! It's time for a new MFT scrap sketch challenge! Thanks to all who shared their creativity with us last month ~ so many terrific layouts! For complete details on how you can join along, please visit the MFT blog. Here's the fun sketch we are playing with:
I scrapped a few photos of my son dear son Jerry and his sweet GF April that were taken while we were all on a recent trip to San Francisco. Jerry looooooves a good cup of coffee and there is plenty to be had in San Francisco! With that being said, I inked up a few sentiments from Clearly Sentimental about Coffee:
I stamped and heat embossed a beautiful butterfly from Inspired By Butterflies on a vellum die cut butterfly made using a coordinating Die-namics Inspired By Butterflies die and added a glitter kissed Pink Lemonade rose embellishment made using a Die-namics Mini Royal Roses die:
I couldn't resist adding a cluster of homemade die cut flowers using the following Die-namics dies: Plentiful Petals, Large Royal Rose and the Royal Rose. To make the two die cut tags, I simply dry embossed Kraft cs using various embossing folders, cut using Die-namics Traditional Tags STAX then white washed with acrylic paint. I stamped a few fun images from Die-namics First Class Friend and Stamp Set.
Thanks so much for visiting! Please be sure to visit the MFT Blog for some fab DT inspiration and complete details!
Be Sweet ;)
