Perfect Blend

This card is 4 1/4"x5 1/2." I used a dark brown cardstock for the base. I cut a piece of tan cardstock at 3 1/4"x4 1/8." I then stamped coffee cups on it with clear ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I adhered it to the bottom of the card, then wrapped it with a purple ribbon. I cut a square of tan cardstock at 2 1/2" and one from purple cardstock at 2 3/4" and adhered them to the card to create a diamond. I them stamped them with the sentiment and the coffee beans, using rich cocoa ink by Tsukineko. I also stamped the string of coffee beans with the same ink on some dark brown cardstock. I then cut out the beans and adhered them to the bottom of the card.

I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches for the layout of my card. I also made this for Day 63 at 365 Cards, where the challenge is to make the sentiment rhyme.

  2. Now, that is my kind of card, makes me want a cup right now. Really like the dark brown and light purple color combo. The line of coffee beans is the perfect touch along the bottom. Thanks for playing along at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week.
