It was another fun color challenge, and I got to create a thank you for coffee cards given to all employees for voting our company one of the best places to work in my state (5th year in a row). With so many employees, I thought it would be fun to let the executive team know their small token was appreciated.
In using the three colors for the challenge, I also used 3 sets to design this card. Crafty Secrets,See-D's and Impression Obsession all have super coffee stamps! I stamped my sentiment and the coffee words in Adirondack ESPRESSO (how could I go with anything else!), embossing the sentiment in clear. My coffee bean friend is stamped on WW and colored with Versamagic Spanish Olive and embossed in clear. The bean is stapled to a small oval with pulls out to show the award we actually received. My background paper is Creative Imaginations, Majah Johnson 'something to do with coffee',and the PP is stamped in ESPRESSO with Judikins Papyrus bg. I matted this onto Georgia Pacific white cs which has been stamped with Crosshatch SU bg stamp...this is stamped in Adirondack LATTE!!! My little corner cups are inked in Brilliance COFFEE BEAN onto WW. I used a corner rounder to curve several of the layers.
So with the details on the record, I've got just enough time to make an Americano before I run to work....Caffeine powered, of course!!! Thanks for your comments...

Only you, Susan, could take a stamp that says I want to expresso...only you! This is so magnificent! This just way over the edge with undeniable imagination. Oh my gosh, you just never cease to amaze me: everyday it's such a 'joy' to open the challenge gallery....I just never know what to expect. That's way too cool - keeping me waiting with bated breathe! Simply outstanding.
