If you're like me you start your day with a little bit of liquid courage.
Uhm, that would be COFFEE! And what better Challenge to participate in then this one from Flourishes, for their November Release, Grab A Cup. Now before I go any further, although I drink a pot of coffee everyday.....NO judging! I don't have any coffee style stamps, how odd! So here is the fabulous Photo Inspiration Flourishes has provided. I think once you see it you will get my card's connection.
mmmmm I can almost smell that deep rich goodness from here!

So I totally went with the beautiful colors and shades of the blues and browns. I used the lovely, Star Of Bethlehem, stamp set from Flourishes. I am in love with this set, truly! Fabulous corresponding designer papers from My Mind's Eye, Stella & Rose. Found this great ribbon in my stash, corner tabs, Copic colored adhesive pearls, and lots of Circles cut using Spellbinders dies. I also used a wee bit of a bronze Sakura glitter pen on the wispy leaves. I think the sentiment, Warm Winter Wishes also conveys the feeling and flavor of the Inspiration Photo!
So thanks for stopping by, time for a refill!
ENJOY~~
My DH can drink a lot of coffee to for me two is enough! Great design and I love this stamp set too! A perfect card for the challenge! Well done! Have a Blessed evening!
