Well, this is fun! Just a bit of cheat for me. I already had this made & I almost always "do" the insides. Usually with leftovers from the front or at least w/ stamps & inks.
For my jolt of java, I went with a pastel on black look..sort of how it looks when the coffee houses write the specials in chalk on a blackboard. I stamped the images w/ white pigment ink then used a combo of 4 different pastel embossing powdersÂ…sort of a painting w/ embossing powders. Some of the parts, were done separately, fussy cut & added on top.
I added a die cut frame on top, some brads at the bottom (they were white, I colored them w/ Copics to match), & added some pink dots around the frame using a pink Souffle pen. The outer layer is from the ODBD Chalkboard paper collection.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog (this is usually where I post the pics of the insides, too!): The Write Stuff

You really created the feel of a coffee shop menu with this awesome card. I'm always amazed at the detail you have on your cards, and you do the inside just as amazing. The embossed images are perfect against the black. Thanks for sharing this neat card in the challenge.

It does indeed look like a coffee shop chalkboard - only much smarter! At least, much smarter than the ones I see here. Gosh, I hope DH gets home soon, it feels like coffee time now after seeing this!
