Freshly Made Coffee


It's Freshly Made Sketches Day!   Yay!   Our sketch this week comes from the amazing Cindy L. and she had a fun one.   I had a million (okay, maybe a few really) ideas of what to do with the splatters but ultimately went with my favorite thing, coffee and coffee stains.   Embossing paste and stencils would have been fabulous as well.  I do see now that I forgot to stamp the steam on my cup so that it matched up with the steam image on my card.  It's been a long week already!  lol

See all the possibilities?   I am just loving this sketch so much.  My cup is from Simon Says Stamp, the sentiment from My Favorite Things, and the coffee stains from Bo Bunny.   
I had a horrible headache yesterday so we stayed in and had a pajama day.  It was nice.   We snuggled and watched a few shows, colored, and read books.

    The coffee "stains" look so nice and grungy against the crispness of the green coffee cup. And the "missing" steam didn't register with me until I read your post :)

    I didn't see any missing steam either. All I could see were some fabbo coffee stains and a great colored coffee cup!

    Another genius design from the amazing Rita Wright. This is so clever. I LOVE the way you used the coffee cup rings and coffee drips for the splatter background suggested by the sketch. Very cool! Great colors, too!

    What a fun card! Your background really does look like coffee rings and splotches.
