Friend - Muse Challenge #7

If you get my posts via email, click HERE to go directly to my blog.

Hey, when I signed onto Blogger just now, I see that this is blog post #300 for me.  Wow...time flies when you having fun.  And I am having fun!

I'm sharing a card I made for a new challenge blog.  Muse Challenge #7 - this week's Monday Muse is Laurie Willison.  I've followed Laurie's blog for quite some time and I love her clean and simple style, that always has a "wow" factor.
Here's Laurie's card:
I used Laurie's layout, but changed up the colors.  I also went with a very casual, almost messy, look.  I really don't know how to describe it.  Any ideas?  My card seemed to take on a life of it's own, but I'm really liking it.  Let me know what you think.  Ok?
My card:



I knew that I wanted to use a coffee theme with this card.  I've had the "sketched coffee cup" stamp for a couple of years, but this was the first time it was inked up.  The coffee rings and splatters are from a set I've used a lot. It's by The Precious Remembrance Shop.  That fun little arrow clip is something new from Stampin' Up!.
Anyway, I added a little border punched strip and a stamped diecut...plus an extra pop of card stock for the "you" in the sentiment.
Thanks so much for taking a look :)





Supplies:
Card stock: confetti cream, lucky limeade, so saffron (SU)
Ink: soft suede, crumb cake (SU), onyx black versafine (Tsukineko)
Stamps: positive thoughts (The Precious Remembrance Shop), sketched coffee cup (Stampabilities), defining words (WPlus9), framed out #12 (PTI)
Other: hung up cute clips, pinking hearts border punch (SU)
