This card was made to thank Pixie, a fellow Oregonian, for her thoughtfulness and generosity, helping out neighboring coffee biz owners. I found this BG in my stash and it looks like some sort of resist technique which now looked to me like a coffee-colored tablecloth. So be it! These little butter chip plates are so much fun to use on cards, name cards, dolly dishes. I think I remember seeing a few used for their original purpose on a restaurant table in my youth. I got these at a restaurant supply biz that closed out many years ago. Dipped the lace in my homemade cold brew and fussy cut those teeny embossed coffee beans.

Lori, love this creative card with that jolly fellow's face on the coffee cup and that adorable little plate! I can't wait to use the ones you gave me while in Carefree, AZ. Hugs friend!
