I struggled with this one today. I was headed in a whole different direction, visited the gallery and decided to change the idea in my head. Not an easy task when you have been thinking pretty much all day about something else. So, here are the details......
I hunted through my stamps hoping to find a coffee mug. Fortunately I found this one. Stamped it and colored it with a Faber-Castell pen. Then I stamped the stems, masking the top of the mug first, then stamped the coffee beans on the ends of the stems. I have never really seen how coffee beans grow, but they probably don't grow in a coffee mug! LOL
Cut out my image with my nesties, sponged the edges with close to cocoa. Made another layer that I sponged pumpkin pie and doodled edges. Also stamped a few extra coffee beans so I could pop a few up.
Stamped a coffee bean and turned it into a coffee bug. (saw this in a Judith catalog) Layered it the same as the main panel only made it smaller.
Put my images on a white card that I sponged using a scalloped edge as the guide. Popped up the little bug.
Well, hope the coffee bug doesn't bite you! LOL....TFL :0)

Cathy it doesn't get any more creative than this! Your scallop sponged by is wonderful... the coffee bug is the cutest... but growing those coffee bean flowers in a mug is just over the top! Love love love this!!!
