Thanks A Latte

The goal was to make a thank you card for a young man who helped us recently.  Masculine cards - so often a challenge in itself.  I hope this is masculine enough.
When I started out I knew which sketch I wanted to use and that I wanted to use a tag.  The tag is tea dyed and "splotched" with Oxide ink.  Image and sentiment are GKD.  And the lovely paper which worked so well for the sketch is Adorn It.
So, very quick and easy card.  Colored the cup with Copics.
Here is the sketch  at CASual Encouragement:

Power Poppy - be thankful

    This works great for a guy card-the colours all blend perfectly and the grunge is the perfect finish. Thanks for joining Time Out and Calling All Sistahs x

    Definitely a wonderful card for a coffee lover!! Love how you coloured the tag itself with the soft 'coffee-colour' and all the different papers and scalloped edges add such interest to the design. Its a fantastic card and I'm so glad you shared it with us at TIME OUT!
