Happiness...in a Cup


 This is my last card of the night (I swear!)  This is one of my favorite coffee cup images from Stamplorations.  I've been holding on to this piece of background paper I made using the ink and alcohol technique (very cool...and very messy...which is why I don't do it often and save every piece that I make:)  

Thanks to these challenges for helping me put this card together:

    Love it! Well, I'm a coffee fan - and this is both coffee and autumnal with the colours and texture. Nicely done. Thanks so much for playing along with our Autumn challenge at The Male Room this week!

    Beautiful card, Kathy! I love that background paper and see why you held on to it - I can only imagine the mess that the technique makes, but the end result is gorgeous!

    What a nice masculine card, and I have never tried that technique and your personal made design paper looks good against the wood grain. Great card.
