Card Concept Challenge #10 - Use A Coffee Theme



... are the perfect blend!





Welcome back!  CCC Challenge #10 is all about coffee!   

I'm hopelessly addicted to coffee - specifically skim milk lattes (Starbucks being my absolute fav!), so to say that this theme had me all in revved up would be an understatement! Two cards for the same challenge theme is proof of my love affair with this beverage!

Soooo....not only does the coffee theme rock, but take a look at the colors in the inspirational photo! They are the yummiest ever!

The image (imported from a free clip-art sight) was cut with my Silhouette. I love the vibrant coral color of my first card and the rich 'coffee' colors of the second card! I underexposed the brown card just a bit to better capture the pearly sheen of the textured card stock.

Okay folks...grab a java, check out the awesome creations from the DT and start 'perking up' some coffee creations!

  1. I'll have a venti, non-fat, toffee-nut latte, please!! Mmmmm....coffee! Such a brilliant card, Geri. Make that two brilliant cards, though I'm loving the coral colored panel under the second one very much!! Hope to get a chance to play along with this challenge. It's sooo good to see your name pop up on my sidebar again. Keep those cards coming, girlfriend!! Bev

  2. LOVE your cards (coral is sooo yummy and playful; rich 'coffee brown sooo comforting and inviting), my dear friend. Your comment on my coffee card - THANK YOU! - hinted at something I might like, so you can imagine my delight at seeing this theme appear! Bring on the coffee (black, please), the muffins (apple cinnamon...), and, most important of all, the companionship! Looking forward to our next coffee date!! Hugs~c
