Pink and brown gives me such a nice warm feeling. Card stock colors are Chocolate Chip, Confetti White, and Pretty in Pink. Ink colors are Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Creamy Caramel, and Sahara Sand. See that shadow under the coffee cup? I had a scrap of rubber with thin padding from trimming a new small word set, and it looked like it just might be large enough to make an oval stamp from. So I used a Sizzix bookplate die with my Big Shot and mounted the inside of the bookplate oval--presto, an oval shadow stamp. (Honestly, it's probably easier just to order one. . .) Back to the coffee cup: I cut two masks for this cup. One was to mask the base so that the shadow could disappear behind the cup. The next was a reverse mask so that I could use the steam swirlies as a printed pattern on the cup--see? The same swirlies are coming out of the top of the cup as are on the outside of the cup. I also used those swirlies on the pink layer. The coffee-colored brads are from StarLitStudio's e-Bay store, and the pink and brown dotted ribbon is some that I thought I purchased at Really Reasonable Ribbon, though I can't find any just like it there at the moment. Isn't Like it a Latte a fun set?

I love pinks and browns together as well. I've been looking at the Like It a Latte gallery for ideas and now I have to go make a pot of coffee at 2pm. I love your card! Great job on the details! I wish I were more patient to give that much attention to detail!
