massive doses of espresso, all rich and caramel~ee from a perfect pour. EsPecIaLLy during VSN! When I saw this picture for the espresso pour in an ad yesterday morning, I know I'd probably find a use for it.
I added glossy accents to the shot glass before work so it would get dry. The tag was stenciled with TH splatters using Adirondack 'Espresso and Latte' inks. The cup was inked on black cs, cut and reversed so the direction would be correct. The sentiment:
Behind every successful woman is a significant amount of coffee.
didn't quite fit, but you get the idea, wink! Dug out some very old trims with coffee words on them for the top. Added a bit of burlap for the top, a vintage button.
lacyquilter issued the Round & Round challenge to kick off the Spring VSN...I think I counted at least 7 circles on the tag...I could go and make another shot and stamp 'Parfume de espresso...yup, I just might do that.
Thanks Melody for your challenge...I'll be back to comment later...

Coffee splashes for the circles! FUN!

Wow - the gloss on that shot glass is AMAZING, Susan. Well done for the forethought in doing it early and having it all ready to go to make this super tag.
