I need my Java!

I'm just looking at this card and craving a caramel latte. But... it's almost 10pm, so I'm making myself be good. This was the final card I made during Paper Pretties SIYJ (Stampin In Your Jammies) virtual stamping night... and I almost forgot to share it with all of you!

This is one of my favorite sets from MFT called Hot Stuff. The challenge was to use light purple, light blue, and light green in a card. So... I HAD to pull out my Basic Grey Lilly Kate paper! It was just the thing! I used Copic markers to color in my little java queen.

I don't know if you can tell in the pic, but my goal was to make the main image look like you were looking into a cafe window. I used acetate (adhered under scalloped flap) to make my 'glass'. I haven't used eyelets in a gazillion years, but now that I have a Cropadile, I'm using them more and more. It's just too easy. And... most of my stamping is done when my boys are asleep. That pretty much axed the hammer action. I love setting eyelets and snaps in silence. Ahhh!

Well.. this post is going to be short and sweet! I've got to get to bed so that I can wake up early and drink my latte before work. :)
