Bittersweet Coffee

Happy Monday! This day, like every other day, began with a BIG ol' mug of coffee, in the same mug I use every morning. I *love* coffee. Sometimes I go to bed thinking about the next morning's coffee. No joke. :)

So, when I saw Friday's Limited Supplies Challenge to use only a sentiment, this one was an easy choice. It's from Coffee with Friends by Flourishes. I thought it paired well with the browns in this Bittersweet paper.

As the challenge suggested, I dressed up the card with papers, embellishments and punches. I embossed the brown paper with the Swiss Dots folder, and I machine stitched around the paisley panel.

I'm off to finish my coffee -- thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Have a wonderful day!
Christina
