This sentiment is one of my favorites. No matter what's going on in my life, one of the only things I always make time for is coffee. It might be coffee that's warmed up in the microwave three times over and then finished cold because I got distracted yet again, but there's always time for coffee!{grin}
I started by stamping the there is always time for sentiment and the cup and steam in Versafine onyx black, then coloring with copic markers. I embossed the little cup liner in white for a foamy look to the coffee, then added a yellow mat to this panel. I lined the bottom of the yellow with a Flourished Trim die cut, then cut out the Coffee Word Die in aqua (I just colored white card stock with copics to get an exact match) and black. My idea was to use the two descenders in the coffee word in place of the little tags in the sketch. Hope that's not too much of a stretch! {grin}
I layered the two die cuts for a bit of shadow, then coated with Nuvo crystal drops for some shimmer. The paper is from a Valentine's paper pack I recently picked up on the cheap at Tuesday Morning. Don't you just love that little chalkboard accent background?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous weekend. I'm looking forward to it. The boys are going over to Nana and Papa's for a sleepover and Mark and I get to go to a real honest to goodness no kids allowed birthday party! Hooray!
