I hate to say this, but I haven't spent much time in my stamp room the past several weeks.  Obviously, things are very tense at work and it just leaves me emotionally drained when I get home.  Today, I made it down there, put a few things away and that was it.  Hopefully, Sunday will be spent in my stamp room.

I made this card several weeks ago for a food or beverage swap.  The Coffee Cafe stamp set came out for this one.  I was glad to use it again.  It has been awhile.

The emboss resist technique was used for the words under the coffee cup.  I used clear embossing powder and VersaMark on the words then sponged color over.  The ink brings out the words more so you can see them.  It's a super easy technique and fun to do.

What do you think of this color combo?  As I was making this card, it was definately growing on me.  Growing up, a near by high school had school colors very similar to Real Red and Balmy Blue.  Using Rich Razzleberry bring out the more classy version of that.
