This is for pcm2004's VSN challenge to make a card with the aroma of our favorite drink.
My favorite drink is our Christmas traditional French Iced Coffee, and I had the perfect dp to use for the card---it has coffee cups with 'Paris' written on them. I thought the different cups would be perfect for the panels of a box card (it opens like a cardboard box)!! Unfortunately, I was`hurrying and cut my card stock before measuring the size of the cups---Rut Roh!! The cups were too big! I had been doing fine with the 45 mins thing, but now it was time to scramble. I didn't have time to make another card, so I whipped out the cups from Like It A Latte and embossed them in different colors.
The brown ones are embossed in coffee and clear EP (the darkest one) and in coffeee creamer and clear EP (the lightere one). They smell divine!!!
Thank goodness for dp--it saved my skin!! But I didn't have time to stamp a tag for the outside or put a pocket for the coffee gift on the inside---later!
TFL!

They DO smell divine! I love your color scheme and the delicious looking coffee cups. I think the dotted organdy ribbon adds an extra special je ne sais qua.

I'm so sorry about your original attempt, it sounds wonderful!! However, this caught my eye. Love the eclectic mix of papers and design. Je pense que c'est tres, tres chic. I've never heard Rut Roh before though!! Sounds interesting.

Oh, this is beautiful. Now, your favorite drink may be coffee and you may have used 'coffee cups' for your images - but these look like teacups to me - and tea if MY favorite drink!! Lovely - thanks for sharing and playing in my challenge.

I'm not a coffee drinker but I think your card looks yummo! I love your idea of opening it like a cardboard box...never thought of that! Wonderful job!
