lets have a cup of coffee

Hi friends....
Hope all your crafting spirits are as high as mine...
I made this beautiful coffee card for a challenge.. By saying coffee card , I actually meant , made with coffee.... Using coffee in making this card also made it smell like coffee and so very yummmm......  ;)


  • I took this dark brown card stock for the base of my card... 
  • Then I took a lighter brown card stock, which I wanted to use as patterned paper .. I created the pattern myself... First by running it through bigshot using embossing folder... Second I made a solution by dissolving coffee powder in water.. Then I took my favorite coffee mug, dipped its base in the solution and formed those ring marks.. lovely isn't it... They smell rich...  :) 
  • My coffee mug also has a flap, which opens up saying.... "A lot can happen on coffee "   :)
  • The sentiment on top is heat embossed in silver...
  • F aux stitching is done all over outside and inside also...
