The card below is in honour of my lil' bro's profession. He has a coffee-related business, roasting the beans and supplying them and coffee machines to coffee shops around the country. He was here in the great state of Vermont for a certification in coffee cupping.
The technique used is Expressionistic Watercolours, a TJ Newsletter technique, December '04 issue. All stamps are by Stampin' Up! This set was retired a couple of years back. I added real coffee beans for embellishment and dimension.
Have a great Tuesday!

Love your card! Love the coffee beans at the bottom of it! So glad you got to spend some time with your brother! Sounds like you guys had a great time! What a great business to be in -- I love my lattes (can't drink just black coffee but love it all fixed up with milk and flavored syrups!!)!!
It's mmmmmmmmmmmmm-mmmmmmmmmm wonderful ... especially for your coffee-drinking friends! The beans are such a great addition!
