I'll Have a Large Espresso of Thanks

Today the Lady Commander of Copics and I needed to send out some thank you messages to the residents of Java Fields. They had recently gifted the Guild Hall with two score bags of coffee beans. I don’t know the purpose of this very generous bestowment, but we are nevertheless grateful, as we are going through more coffee than usual this year. As such, we went to the crafting chambers and brewed up some perky thank you messages to send by raven to Java Fields (haha, puns).  

I stamped the vintage lady using the Crafty Secrets “Coffee and Tea” set. I wanted to use the “punny” thank you stamp from that set, but couldn’t decide what to stamp it on. I finally decided on using the steamy cup from the Winter Frolic cartridge. I thought the cup would add a little something-something to the card. However, after cutting it out and stamping the sentiment, it looked kind of “off” to me. Oh well. POWER THROUGH! The background paper I dug out of the bottom of my paper stash where it’s been sitting for about two years. I grunged all the pieces up using some Distress Ink and assembled the card.

I left the inside blank, other than the little coffee bean stamps from the Crafty Secrets set, so there would be space for a personalized thank you note.

This grateful creation will be perking up in the following challenges:

In the middle of the night, some coffee crawlers emerged from the bags of beans. It seems the residents of Java Fields had some ulterior motives after all! The Guildys were able to quickly dispatch the vile creatures, but now we were left wondering what we had done to bring upon the wrath of Java Fields. This reeked of Captain Jack Java. Time to find that pirate and make him pay...
