This week I made a gift card holder to give a Starbucks GC to a friend. I used Coffee Girl by Whimsy & Stars Studio and the Papertrey gift card die.
I love the big coffee cup she is holding. The last few mornings I could have used a coffee cup that big. The problem is that I don’t drink plain coffee. I love Café Mocha’s. I wonder how many Weight Watchers points a mocha that size would be? I would probably have to live on my treadmill for the rest of the week…
Did you notice her red hair? I think I mentioned before that I seem to usually color hair blonde. I decided to step outside my comfort zone and give a red head a try. The one you see here is attempt number seven. Good thing I finally got one that was acceptable because I was running out of crafting time.
Thank you to every one that has sent get well wishes to my dog, Summer. She still isn’t fully recovered by she is doing much better. She is still having issues with her balance but she is not falling all over the place any more.
I hope you have a great week! Thank you for stopping by!

Adorable Cheryl! You did an amazing job with her red hair and picked the perfect colors of yellow and green to really make it pop. :-) So glad to hear pup is doing better. Hugs!
What a great gift card holder and that wonderful coffee cup ( Lucky is at daycare and I am relaxing with a cup now :) ) Loving the red hair, I never try red hair, just blonde and brunette. Sweet.
Oh my goodness, I love that image! I think I need a cup that size most mornings too. I think you did a great job on the red hair.
Cheryl, she's fabulous!!! You should seriously concider offering Starbucks your talent and let them sell these holders for them. This is perfect! I can't believe you have the patience to color her 7 times..LOL. But I have to admit, the highlights and lowlights of her hair DO look wonderful.
I too like to drink a little coffee with my creamer :D
Another beautiful creation here.
Hugs,
Lisa xx

Great gift card holder! I need to make a large one today, but love how yours looks!
Wow, what a darling gift card holder, and awesome coloring job! Your little redhead is the cutest thing--and I'll bet attempts 1 thru 6 were pretty darn good as well!
This is such lovely work! The coloring is fab. I rarely color hair blonde, I'm in my comfort zone with browns. Should try red too...
Awwww, this is so cute Cheryl! Love your colouring and what a fab idea for the coffee gift card holder. Did you put any coffee beans inside? That would just be a pure delight! ;))
This is awesome!! The image is so sweet...you colored it beautifully!! I love all the texture!! Absolutely fabulous :)

Very attractive paper card holder but i think you should focus on designing plastic card holders as they are more reliable and attractive are very much in demand....
this is just lovely, all the details are just beautiful, love it.
Thanks so much for sharing your creation at Anything goes, Just keep on creating, I hope you will continue to play along. Sorry about the the delay in leaving my comment I have been overseas and then got sick, I will be announcing the winners and will have the next challenge by 01/09 :)
