I Love the Java Jive and It Loves Me!


Yum! There is nothing better on a cool, cloudy, fall day than the smell of coffee! I am not a coffee drinker, but I sure love to smell it. It's a good thing my husband likes to drink it, or I would have to just brew it for the scent!

Today is a very cloudy, overcast, cool fall day. Four days ago it was 92. The high today is supposed to be 60! Welcome to Autumn!

Today's card uses two delightful images from the Hambo Stamps line:
Coffee - 1724
How Have You Bean? - 1618

I think the warm colors of the designer paper and accessories help the whole "aroma" of the card! (Oh brother!) The SCS Limited Supplies Challenge, hosted by my friend, Silvia, challenged us to use a coffee image and the color orange somewhere on our card. Perfect for the day! Here is a sideview of that awesome frame by Portafolio:


Stamps: Hambo - Coffee - 1724 ; How Have You Bean? - 1618
Paper: DCWV Textured Neutrals, LSS DP, SU Watercolor Paper, Really Rust, Bronze and Copper Metallic (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Only Orange
Accessories: silk flowers (The Paper Studio), antique bronze frame (Portafolio), big brads (The Paper Studio), Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon (retired SU!)
Techniques: watercoloring


I hope you will join in the challenge - and have a "cuppa"!
Thanks for stopping by today!

  10. What wonderful and rich colors on this card! From the frame to the flowers, everything is gorgeous. I had to LOL at your comment about not being a coffee drinker! I don't like the stuff either, but I looooove the smell, so I'm happy that my husband drinks coffee too :). Please stop by my blog today if you can :D. Have a blessed weekend!
