I thought I could make a quick card before breakfast………………………ha ha ha.  I don’t think I have ever made a “quick” card in my life.  I can manage to hem and haw over the tiniest of details and even simple cards take at least an hour.

This card is watercoloured and uses a frame border die from Hero Arts.  This means that I not only had to decide what colours to paint but also where to paint and what to leave white.  I am sure if I re-did this card it would be different, but overall, I like it.

Today’s card started with a little stamp set from Waffle Flower.  It is called Currently Drinking and I think it is meant for a Planner.  I bought it because I was always trying to build coffee drinking scenes with non-coffee themed stamp sets and it came in handy for that.  It occurred to me that Lawn Fawn’s Reveal Wheel could be used to represent the decision-making process of what type of beverage to have upon arrival at the local Starbucks.  The little images fit perfectly in the heart-shaped window.

I used patterned paper and stickers from Echo Park’s Coffee collection.  The background paper is Coffee & Tea from Reminisce.
