Latte Thanks for Colour Me...!

Over the holidays some dear friends of ours were in town visiting family, and we were able to sneak in a visit with them as well. My friend had brought me this super-duper SimonSaysStamp set, What's Brewing, and I couldn't wait to try it out :)

I put a little extra effort into the coffee cup, but the rest of it is pretty basic. 

First, I stamped Perfect Plum cardstock with white StazOn ink using this awesome chevron stamp from a past Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin kit. I love digging through those stamps! You always find something cool.

Then I stamped the mug again on just plain Perfect Plum cardstock, and then once more on Sahara Sand cardstock. I supposed I could have just coloured the mug, but this seemed like more fun ;)

Once I had all pieces stamped, I cut out sections and pieced them back together using the mug stamped on the white cardstock as a base.

The reason for doing this is that I wanted the outside of the mug to have a pattern, but the inside of the mug to be solid purple - and of course the coffee. 

The coffee steam was stamped in Sahara Sand, as well as part of the sentiment. I added a few Frosted Sequins from Stampin' Up! as the final touch. 

Check out the challenge this week at Colour Me...! We have our brand new Design Team with us this week too!

Thanks for stopping by today!
