Roses Thinking of You Card Duo

Good morning friends

My Mom had asked for some Thinking of You cards, so I came up with these two. I like the look of cutting the shadow layer from the card front and layering the word layer inside the card. Then it's visible from the front AND when you open the card.

I had some of this glossy roses print paper leftover so used it along with some red card stock.

For the second card, I wanted to use the shadow layer cut from the first card so cut a second 'thinking of you' from red card stock and adhered it to the shadow layer then to the stitched panel. There was enough of the roses patterned paper to die cut a cup from the Cup Pop Stand (Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs). I cut a second cup from white fun foam (because that is what I had) and went around the edges with a red Sharpie marker. I like the 'shadow' effect it gave the cup. A few 'splashes' from Joset's Ice Cream Cone and my card was finished.
