Here's my card for Dina's Hold Onto Your Hope Challenge, to make a card which includes a handle...closest handle to me at the moment is a coffee cup! The card base bg is stenciled and several stencils were used for the main panel. My lovely, talented friend, Dina, sent me this fab twine, which plays along perfectly with the colour scheme - thanks, Dina!

Does that mean I have that same twine somewhere too? (Ohhh, I do! It looks brown in your photo, not black.)
I have this set and I think it was one of the last ones I got from our DT before we disbanded, and that makes me sad. I should use it more! Thank you for playing along with my challenge, and for just being so dear. I'm waiting for the day we can have a cup of coffee face to face!

Bridget, your cards are always amazing. If I made a card all in browns, it would look like mud. Your sponging through the stencils is perfect and I love the different patterns that you incorporated. I can almost smell the coffee.

Do you know that I recently bought a stencil of coffee rings and spills and it didn't even occur to me to use it! ...and I bought it in order to get stencilling more! :-) Your card is an inspiration and goes into my favourites. I love your stencilling and the warm cafe au lait colours. Gorgeous!
