Even though I am not feeling the best in the world I am still back to combining challenges in an effort to reign on my throne.LOL.
This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE - Chocolate Tangerine Kissses Yum Yum! and Monday's kewl TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Mini Pizza Boxes. I used a recently released coffee set from TREEHOUSE STAMP COMPANY called Friends & Latte's. At the time of the release my Guest Design Membership was up but as fate would have it Ashley asked me and Shannon to stay on as permanent DT Members so I got this neat set to play with and have not had a chance until today. I have a co-worker who is just wonderful and so helpful. She also LOVES coffee so I am putting a couple of bags of coffee in her just for her. I hope she likes it. The image was stamped in choc chip and then colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended w/gamsol medium. I cut this image and layered matt out using my Fiskars oval templates. The kiwi kiss layer is stamped with the swirl from this set and the coffee bean. I stamped the sentiment in tangerine tango then punched it and the layer out with the large and small oval punches. I punched 2 each of choc chip, tangerine tango and kiwi kiss cs using the Martha Stewart Fern Punch and attached it under the popped up sentiment. This is matted on some orange mulberry paper I tore to place on the box. My box is in white stamped randomly with the coffee bean in choc chip. I attached a dark brown 3/4 in ribbon around the box to help hold it secure. I used the upside down of this version because I did not want the coffee bags to fall out.

This is such a happy little box cover you have made - and so incredibly detailed. You have layered the colours beautifully. I am sure your friend will love this!
