This is my sample for this week's CC517. Barbara is our hostess and she chose the color trio of coastal cabana, old olive and bermuda bay. Our dessert is layers- and we are to use 4 or more.
I needed one more Valentine card and a masculine one so the colors worked out perfect for me. I like using non-traditional colors for Valentine cards.
My card layout is this week's Mojo384. Lots of layers in the sketch so dessert is covered.
My bermuda bay panel is embossed with a new to me embossing folder from Darice - "heart background".
The coastal cabana dsp is from SU's "maritime" collection.
The heart border is Verve's "scalloped trim trio" die.
My coffee cup and sentiment are from The MFT "perk-up" stamp and die set. I finished this card by adding some twine and a tiny bow.
Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next CC fave and have your card featured on our Pinterest board or be our next guest designer. See Pinterest board here.

I always love a good pun! This card is adorable, and perfect for a guy who likes his coffee. True confessions, I ordered that embossing folder, too, after seeing it in last week's gallery! Thanks for all your help this week!

Love your play on words for this stylish valentine in non-traditional colors. I like how you carried the heart motif throughout your card in various elements. It does make a great guy card....but would be perfect for anyone who enjoys a latte/coffee.
