There's something about autumn and the cooler weather which means it's time to break out the coffee pot & mugs and put away the ice tea pitcher & lemonade glasses. I'm celebrating that coming of autumn with this card, hoping that, finally, it might bring on that cooler weather. We're so tired of hot, hot, hot out here in dry and drought-stricken California.
On the other hand, once that cooler weather does set in, we're really grateful for all those wonderful warm drinks poured into a mug, held in our cold hands, and used to warm our insides. :-D
Paola, at My Whimsical Little World, has done several of these coffee and teacup images and it was through her that I heard about the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog hop for National Coffee Day. She's one of 42 different sponsors!
I colored the image with ProMarkers, then used a Spellbinders' die to cut it. I added the ribbon, put everything on a colored card base, and beyond that, left it pretty simple.
