Espresso my Gratitude

Hi and apologies for the late post!  A long weekend just past has played havoc with my working week and I'm a day behind!

Here's the fabulous sketch this week for the SugarPea Designs Sketch Challenge.


I flipped the sketch on its side and used some new goodies on my card this week:



I colored the cup and saucer last week as part of Kathy Rac's Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge and I really like the blue color, so decided to stick with blue, brown and soft grey for my color scheme.  To match the blue Copics I used, I pulled out some Blue Jay ink by SSS and smooshed it onto some white card to make the vertical panel.

The cup and saucer were adhered onto a Zig Zag Stitched Circle die using foam tape.  I also used the new Espresso Yourself set and Coffee Words dies for the sentiment, which I placed onto two flags cut from the Stitched Flags die set.

Some die-cut coffee beans finished the card.

Hi Karren,

It was creative of you to flip the sketch, had not thought of that!
I always love a coffee card - the heart in the coffee is so sweet!
I also think the blue is quite appealing!
