Today's Color Challenge (CC567) has some pretty colors & the dessert option is a Valentine. Since the colors are strawberry, mint & espresso, I couldn't get the "espresso" out of my head so coffee was the way I went w/ my card.
I put some X-Press It c/s into my Misti, stamped the coffee cups first w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then overstamped w/ Versafine & cut them out. I did the same to the little hearts & the greeting. I just happened to have the crochet looking heart already die cut as well as the white topper w/ the stitched circle cut out. Love it when stuff I have laying around fits in so nicely! I added the mint polka dot dp & pretty much done.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Your tiny dotted paper is subtle enough and a perfect backdrop for your Valentine, Julie! Your hearts on the coffee cups and your sentiment are a sure sign of Love for someone special, no doubt~

Oh Julie, I'm right there with you! All I could think of were lovely french macaron's you see in pastry cases. Add the coffee and I'm in heaven! The challenge colors are spot on! Perfect design for our colors.
