I went on a search for something to do todays challenge with. I used to keep some instant coffee for when my SIL would visit, but it got so old and hard I threw it out. So looking for and replacement of that jar I came across my Balsamic vinegar which is a very aged one that is rather thick on the side of the jug. So I scraped a little of it out and put it on my pallet. A small flat paint brush was used to apply it to the stamp. I love how it stamped. The greeting did not stamp very clearly in my test so I did use ink to get a clearer stamp for that. I love the gold accents in this old Mocha Morning DP. I added a gold foil strip under the image panel and kept this very simple.

Great choice in the image and I must say the balsamic vinegar worked very well. This is lovely! I have the mocha morning DSP, but I'd forgotten until now. It makes a very nice bg panel, especially with the gold foil.
