Grab A Cup, Or What Have You......

Good Morning! 

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~~
