Warm Thoughts

I'm not a coffee drinker, but there's still something that draws me to coffee-themed stamp sets. I used Papertrey Ink's Warm Thoughts Too set for this card using the color combination from Heather's latest Totally Hues challenge.

I stamped the dotted cup image in Aqua Mist and the cup outline in Dark Chocolate on the die cut cup. It's set on an Aqua Mist circle using foam tape. I used Smokey Shadow ink, stamped off once, to stamp the steam. It's hard to see in the photo, but I traced over the lines with a glue pen and covered it with glitter for a little sparkle.

The sentiment is stamped on a Raspberry Fizz double-ended banner die cut. Finding the die, which had fallen behind a shelf, took longer than the making of the entire card! I set the pieces on a piece of Happy Spots patterned paper, then on an Ocean Tides card base. The Raspberry Fizz felt hearts were a last minute addition to the design. I clustered the trio of hearts just over the top of the steam for a fun detail.
