Saturday Coffee Cafe - Autumnal Chic

Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Cafe! Grab a cup of your favorite roasted brew and visit for a bit.


Recently I was on a business trip to Maine.  We stayed at a lovely hotel on the water and the weather was typical New England fall!  One night, we were asked to dress in "Autumnal Chic".  I must admit, the group wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but we could have taken a 'family picture' because we all came up with the same look -- warm tans, neutral plaids with pops of green and brown!


So 'Autumnal Chic' - and the new Essentials challenge over at Ellen Hudson - were the inspiration for my card today!


I started by layering several patterns from one of my favorite paper pads from Carta Bella - Welcome Home.  I then stamped and die cut the coffee cup/bean images from an Essentials by Ellen set.  The sentiment was stamped on a vellum circle die cut and then the coffee-themed pieces were arranged on it.  To finish, I added a few light green sequins.

Thanks to these challenges for the design inspiration:

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a warm and cozy 'autumnal chic' kinda day :)

    OHH!! as a coffee lover who can't function properly in the mornings without caffeine, I love, love this beautiful card, fabulous pattern papers and the vellum behind your images is a clever detail so they can still be seen.
