Java Friend and One For You

Hello.  Welcome.  Well the fall coffee lovers blog hop is in full swing.


A host of amazing sponsors and all you need do is link up a fall project with a coffee, tea or cocoa theme.  Here's mine


I started with some Little Yellow Bicycle autumn looking patterned card.  I cut an ATC using a sizzix die and added grey texture paste through Tando Creative distorted harlequin stencil.  I stamped Unity's Java Friend coffee cup, embossed with black powder and used red Fantasy Prisme paint for the heart.  I found a piece of fabric with three coffee beans on it and frayed the edge


And it went together like this........

When I bought this stamp, which comes with a cute little sentiment, I bought an extra one and I will be giving that to someone who comments on this post.  Please include the word JAVA in your comment so I know you are interested and Mr Random will draw a winner.  I will post worldwide.  If you don't include the word java I will assume you aren't interested or already have this stamp and you won't be included in the draw. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

You are on a roll this week! I really like how this came out and thought the heart incorporated into the mug handle was so clever. I also love how you have such a unique mix of textures and patterns here. You are always skilled and picking just the right things to go together and your creative well must be bottomless! Thanks for submitting your work to our weekly challenges here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog because I always look forward to seeing what cool new thing you've come up with!

Love these elements. The textures on your card go so well together, and I just love that splash of red in the heart; it's like the first red leaf in a host of orange and brown ones on a tree. Wonderful card. I like this card very much! Bev
