Merry Monday #174 - Java Time

Hello friends.  Playing along with Merry Monday today, and this weeks theme is to make a coffee related Christmas card.  NOT a coffee lover!  Love the way it smells, but the taste is SOOO different.  I always loved Laura Bassen's comment about coffee tasting like "hot dirt"! :0)  But anyway, I really like how my cute little card came out, and I will send it to someone who enjoys a good latte!  Take a look:


My little peppermint latte was stamped using an IO stamp that I water colored using Real Red, Pool Party, and Baked Brown Sugar (SU!) inks, a couple Copics for the pine twig and whipped cream, and some red stickles for the berries.  The word background was stamped with a Penny Black stamp called Christmas Story and distressed a bit with some Tea Dye ink, and the sentiment is from PTI - Season's Greetings and was embossed with black embossing powder.
 
 
 
Check out all the great cards by the design team, and the players too, right HERE.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)

    What a charming card. Love all the color and detailed embellisment. Looks good enough to drink. Have got to agree with your's and Laura's assessment..."hot dirt" is about right.
