The large coffee cooladas look super yummy. I made mine an Irish Whiskey Coolada with cinnamon on the whipped cream.
My WOWs are the fun you can have with gel medium and paint AND the fun you can have with aluminum foil, some kitchen supplies, and ink. I made fake bacon the first time I tried the gel medium and I was blown away with how real it looked. I love playing with aluminum foil and ink - always reminds me of Susie A. since I learned it from her. She is WOW too.
I made the whipping cream by mixing gel medium and white acrylic paint. I added it to a piece of acetate and laid it on thick and fluffy. I added some cinnamon and heated it with a heat gun. It bubbled all up adding dimension plus it smells good (don't smell while heating - I do mine over my stove fan with it going full blast just in case the fumes are a bit scary). I cut it to fit my coffee cup.
To make my bg panel, I crumbled up some aluminum foil and swiped on green and brown ink. Splashed with water and got ugly brown. Went with it. Dried it all and then did just green and added it to the panel as well. Then it was too green so I mixed up some coffee, cinnamon, and brown ink and dipped in the bottom of my breakfast drink (had mouth surgery and on a liquid diet - urgh). Then I stamped that around the page to make "coffee rings."
The whipped cream looks real and smells awesome. I want to make something else with whipped cream now!
This also fits the WT674 challenge - I have clubs and added a special little cutout one on my coffee cup in honor of that fun challenge.

You've used everything but the kitchen sink...think you may have used it, too. Ha Your foam technique is perfect and I love cinnamon...taste and smell. What a great background.

I am speechless with admiration, and breathless from laughing at your description! Yes, Susie A is a wow! as are you my friend. I absolutely adore this ... c'mon ... cream AND whisky, what's not to love. Do you think I'm too OCD to have a go at backgrounds like this ... *winks*
Big hug Nancy - do hope you are recovering well from surgery
