I can feel Autumn in the air in the morning the last few days. It's a big crisp when we get up. Just right for a cup of Java. Well not for me, but for my hubby. I've never quite been able to DO coffee! You could brew it all day, I love the smell, just not the taste! My husband on the other hand is a coffee connoisseur, and loves a really good cup of coffee.
So when the colors were posted tonight I thought I'd pull out this set for a tower of warm coffee. I like the sentiment too, enjoy the little things, make the most of each moment, don't be in a rush. Something we're really holding close to us in the year ahead.
I created the coffee rings in VersaMark and Chocolate Chip on the main card base. The coffee perk is done in VersaMark and the cups are paper pieced, colored and stacked.
I can't remember the name of this patterned paper, it was from several years ago, just after Au Chocolate came out too. but the patterns are kind of fun and funky.
For the ribbon/button, I attached the top of the striped grosgrain then fed the twine through the cord button, tucked it under the grosgrain, fed it through the other hole of the button and cinched it tight into a bow. This gathers the striped ribbon nicely.
I'll be back later on Tuesday, I'm going to do my first PTI Blog Hop!
