Don't talk to me until I've had my COFFEE

For those of you who know me well, you know that I have to have at least one coffee in my system before I fully open my eyes.  This card is for my inner-coffee addict! The great sketch comes from The Paper Players and the interesting color combination comes from Create with Connie and Mary.  Create with Connie and Mary challenged to use Island Indigo, Baja Breeze and Rich Razzleberry, not colors I would normally put together so I love the challenge!
I used the Take a Sip Standard Wheel to create the coffee cups on the Island Indigo Cardstock and for the popped up coffee cups. I colored them in with Watercolor Crayons.

For the Embedded Embossed Banner, I took a piece of Baja Breeze cardstock and taped on the cardstock stripes of Rich Razzleberry and Island Indigo cardstock then embossed the whole piece using the Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

 Check out the challenge websites to see additonal projects made for these challenges:

This makes me want a latte...!
