Just Us Girls #550 - Photo Week

Maria is the host for Photo Week at Just Us Girls and this is her photo of choice.

Not being a coffee drinker, coffee stamps have not interested me so I turned to a friend for an image I could use.  It comes from EbyE.

I colored the heat embossed cup with Distress Ink.  For the background I used a TH stencil inked with Ground Espresso (what else?) and spritzed to make it run a little.  It looked a little bland so I cut the panel with a HA rounded die and then colored the edges of my card base with the same blue DI as the saucer.

The Desisn Team and our wonderful guest Lisa Elton have some innovative cards to inspire you.  Please check out the blog and then join us for this week's challenge.

Thanks for dropping by.

Coming from a coffee drinker, drinking her first cuppa of the day, I'd say your card is darling... and perfectly caffeinated!

Apologies for commenting so late; losing track of time! Your coffee card is absolutely lovely, Bobby! Crushing over the blue/brown palette! For a non-coffee drinker, you've sure created a marvelous card!
