Welcome to another Hip Hop! Can you believe the year is almost over and this is our final Hip Hop of 2010? This means that a brand new Kit of the Month is on the horizon and you are going to love it. LOVE. The January Kit will surpass all expectations and fulfill your wildest dreams… to the moon and back! For real.
As we say farewell to December and 2010, I thought it would be appropriate to make a card using two images from Just Be You. I stamped the gridded frame first, created a mask and stamped the background using Giving It All Meaning. I purposely put the ‘enjoy’ definition in clear view on the bottom left corner to lead it into the teacup which also says ‘enjoy’. You can see that there are several tie-ins with the three colours I used. I love this card except I noticed too late that I forgot to cut out the handle for the teacup. Argh. Me. Forget to cut? 🙂

Oh, it looks fine with the handle left alone. Fantastic, in fact — love the frame/definition combo, and the twine adds a lot of sass.
