This month at STAMPlorations the CAS Challenge is to create something with a color twist of BLACK.
I thought it would be fun to not only create with black ink and black twine … but also include a little tea (or coffee) play on words. Stamps are Coffee Happy & Caffeinated Christmas.
The Candy Cane paper was foiled using double-stick tape … such a fun way to embellish paper. My finishing touch was to use a stamp from Mixed Media Elements – October 2015 to create some steam from the cup.
I'm also linking-up at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Coffee (and the sponsor is STAMPlorations)



Stephanie, what a smart use of the colour twist ;))
Stephanie, your stack of coffee cups (because that’s what I’ve decide they are *grin*) are such fun, set atop the colourful candy cane paper! Sentiment: fantastic! Once again, thrilled to be playing alongside you as a GD for this challenge

This is such a creative use of the challenge twist Stef!! Great card!
Cool card, Stef! The black
Bakers Twine really finishes it off nicely…and the foil is awesome. Thanks for joining us at ATCAS.
Oh… now that is funny! I love that you didn’t color the cups, either. Great card Stef, so glad you shared it with us at ATCAS this week
