Hi, everyone! Today's Inspiration Challenge is all about Starbucks! Though I'm too cheap to buy their coffee, I did have fun looking at the website......I chose this charcoal and brown mug for inspiration to help me make a birthday card for a co-worker who is a coffee addict like me! I used the North Coast Creations 'What's Brewin'?' set, along with the 'Winter Paper Collection' and ODBD Custom 'Sparkling Stars' Dies from Our Daily Bread designs. The cup image was stamped, fussy cut, then covered in Versamark and heat embossed with Espresso brown powder. To match the glittery pattern from the paper, the little stars were cut out of copper paper. Some of the steam trails were drawn in by hand with an espresso marker (this hand-drawing technique proves that I'm a stamper, NOT an artist! lol!) I will be submitting this for the Technique Lover's Challenge (fussy cutting) plus the following DTGD challenges:
DTGD15StampmommaA
DTGD15vasunshine
DTGD15Itsapassio
DTGD15KathleenCurry
DTGD15StamperSandeeB
Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Adorable!! You know, if I'm honest... I lay in bed at night and think, 'Lori - if you'll just shut your eyes when you wake up you can have COFFEE!' Love your card!
I've been plagued with a variety of internet issues over the last two weeks, so I'm sorry for the delay in letting you know how much I appreciate you participating in my challenge and your contributions here at Splitcoast! ~ xoxo
