I made this ATC for a coffee theme swap I was just in. The background is a piece of burlap. I thought using that would be neat since coffee beans come in burlap bags.
The really cool thing I did was with the embossing. I mixed ground coffee in the embossing powder. It gave the embossing powder a really neat look to it and sure smelled good heating!!
The steam is actually a heart wire clip that I bent and slid into a slit in the top of the cup.
I also stippled the cup after I used water colors on it to make it look coffee stained.
