Another cup of thanks

Another coffee-themed card for the Summer Coffee Lover's blog hop.  This little cup was blended with Distress inks, spritzed and patted dry for texture, and centered on a peek-a-boo stitched window panel (My Favorite Things). The cup is from a Simon Says Stamp die. The sentiment is from SSS Sketchy Banner sayings, on a sketchy banner die.

The patterned paper is so old I can't remember where or when I got it. I guess it is good to use up old stuff, right? Since I just bought up a whole bunch of new stuff, the old has got to go!

I just got back from a visit to my brother's house which is very near the My Favorite Things store in Eustis, Florida. I bought quite a few things while I was there, so I should be mentioning their name in a lot of posts in the future. Quite a few things.

Enjoy your coffee today!
