Hi, Friends.....

Welcome regulars and also any visitors who are hopping along with in the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop!! I'm so glad to see you. Good thing I made this card last week because I never seem to be able to get one made and in the hop otherwise!! :) 


In addition to my card, I have a little GIVEAWAY that you can check out at the bottom of this post. That makes two giveaways I currently have going on here at Her Peaceful Garden! (See above for the Cat Lovers Hop Badge GIVEAWAY, too.)

I don't have a lot of coffee stamps, so I made this card with a free digi image I found online.
One word of caution:  when you do a search for copyright-free digi stamps online, some of them are actually owned and still sold by their manufacturer!!!  You MUST try to track them down and get permission.  It can be hard, though.  I unwittingly printed this one out and made it into a card assuming that it was a copyright free one.....only later realizing that my search had yielded some that were not!!  I spent over an hour trying to track down the owner of this image...following several dead end leads without any success.  So I sincerely apologize for the "unauthorized" use of this image.  No violation was intended!  Please contact me if you know anything about it.   Thanks!

I colored this sweet image with Spectrum Noir markers and followed the current Viva la Verve Sketch.

I also used the rich, warm colors from the Winnie & Walter September Color Combo Challenge:



Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set (for straight-edged pierced panel)
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Audrey Cutaways die set (for scalloped panel and little hearts)
Spectrum Noir markers
Pigma Micron Black Pens for accenting the steam
Distress Ink - Antique Linen (sponged over gray band to give it a warmer tone)
Nuvo drops - Buttermilk
Scraps from my stash

GIVEAWAY:
I have one $10 Starbucks Gift Card I would love to send to a random commenter on this post.....and/or on any other of my Coffee Hop posts I manage to make before the deadline hits!! :) My giveaway is open WORLDWIDE, but if the winner is international and doesn't have a Starbucks nearby I will send a different little prize!  Leave your comment below by 11:59 pm Pacific on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2017 to be entered into the giveaway.


Hope you are enjoying this hop. Thank you so much for stopping by along the way!! Remember to get ready for the Cat Lovers Hop on Oct. 23-28!!! Meow.
