Hi friends! I'm totally enjoying myself crafting just for fun for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Today I worked on this green/plaid design. There were several mishaps along the way, but I tried to salvage the card as best as I could because I really loved the end design. I used the Tim Holtz Fresh Brewed Bigz die, this time sponging with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. I splashed with water and lifted the droplets, then went overboard with the white gesso splatters and smeared part of the cup. I had already glued everything together, so I tried to wipe it away... :( I ended up smearing the plaid in doing so and had to make a patch. Seriously, that called for another cuppa coffee! ;}
I love the yummy effect of this frozen latte! I used Tim's Plaid (& Nordic) background stamp and Black Soot Distress Oxide for the background.
For the sentiment I used Tim's Shadow Script Christmas die over a strip of paper stamped with the Flurry (& Pine) stamp set. For my floral spray I used the Juniper punch again and berries from the Funky Festive dies. As a final touch I added a sentiment from the Occasions Small Talk stickers.
And here's a card I shared on Instagram yesterday. My compututer's acting up so I won't go into details, but find that post HERE.

Brilliant cards, Autumn... I can't decide which I like best, but I think the takeaway cup just edges it - such lovely, bright, festive colours.

autumn, these are gorgeous! Love that beautiful Frap cup!
Both are fabulous Autumn! I reckon the coffee has a dash of coke in it that comes straight from the famous Christmas coke add. Nicola x
Such gorgeous cards Autumn! Love the splatters on the frappe cup and the colors on your second card seem to have just jumped right off of the cozy hop image. Love the threads, and veneers too. Thanks so much for hopping along with us!
Okay the cup with the green straw is magical!

Christmas and coffee - great combination! We're getting a coffee maker as a family Christmas present - my son loves lattes and we want to make them just like the coffee shops!
