I have never painted with coffee before which fits right into the Try a New Technique challenge today.
I painted the paper with watery instant espresso. I dropped a few dry crystals on it while it was still wet to get some spots. Then I distressed the edges with vintage photo distressed ink. I liked the color of it so I stamped the image in the same ink.
This is the best smelling card I have ever made!

I was tempted to use vanilla to paint with just so the card would smell nice. I love that stamp you used and the effect overall of your card is cool vintage technical!

Well you picked a perfect image to go with the technique. Very vintage. Looks like a page out of an old book. You are really having fun exploring new ideas.
