I found the some pretty papers for the card and picked the colors from them. The image was colored with Copic markers. It is a little hard to see but I also stamped the coffee beans on the corrugated strip too.

    Love both cards - the first one is stunning! And I love the little pom-pom ribbon embellishment on the second one.

    Very nice cards. I like the colors & patterns in the first card, makes me think of a kitchen with floral wallpaper and one of my aunts.

    Your cards are so pretty. I know you designated the first one "birthday", but it could be used for anything. I haven't seen many of the "thanks a latte" samples, but yours is great. With the heart behind the cup; I am thinking Valentines or Anniversary. Thanks a Latte for your love, sweetie, for your husband. Great Thanks.
