This is for Jen's Dare to get Dirty challenge. A long time ago I spent a day playing with coffee. I used instant coffee of varying strengths and played around with staining paper with it. On this piece, I also did loose illegible writing also called asemic writing over the coffee staining with a Versamarker then embossed with clear ep. I sponged my edges with Baked Brown Sugar ink but in the dark (power outage today)I grabbed a sponge with red staining.

This is a fun card Gail! I have yet to play around with painting with coffee. I watched the tutorial on it though. You are such a trooper...not even a power outage stops your crafting!

And red staining looks perfect as a complement to the red circle you used in the composition so all is good! Love your coffee-stained papers and patterned mug!

Stunning, Gail! I love your asemic writing (you learn something new every day)! Thanks so much for playing in my challenge! I'm off to go buy some instant coffee now....
