Pinterest Inspired

The Paper Girl have a Pinterest inspired challenge:

Don't you love the geometric shapes and jewel tones?!?

Here is my first attempt:

Meh.  I liked the concept, but it seems that the background, but something was missing.  And I think that the dark grey base and layer didn't work quite right.  I tried again, and was much happier:

I trimmed the Spellbinder cover up die a little smaller, and layered it onto a navy card base.  I also layered the Sizzix round sentiment onto just navy.  I used DCWV adhesive paper for all of the colors to make adding the dots cleaner. 

Is COFFEE a hobby?!?

The Cuttlebug Mania challenge to create something that reflects a hobby.  My friend Diana is quite the coffee maven, does that count as a hobby?!?!?!?!

Sizzix Alterations embossing folder inked with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, Momenta patterned paper, Spellbinder oval die.
