Coffee, Creativitea – and caffeinated inspiration

Hi everyone, Laurel here with some more inspiration for you…. this photo just makes my heart happy!  sigh, so pretty!

So… how are you inspired from the photo?  What about the colors? Valentines? Flowers?

Me, I pulled out the colors and created a Valentine themed little gift.  It was a good excuse for me to ink up my Unity Love to Go stamp, which I have had for quite awhile… I think it was about time to get her inky!  I stamped, colored and cut out the image.  I then stamped the image on a kraft tag.  The colored image was then mounted on foam squares for some dimension.

I thought the sentiment from the Kiss Me a Latte stamp set by Jaded Blossom, worked well with the image.  A little sequin added to the heart is a simple way to add more detail and interest.  Finally it is all clipped on and tied off with some twine.

A perfect little package to tuck in a coffee card gift certificate (e.g. Starbucks or for us Canadians… a Tim Hortons or a David’s Tea)… you get the idea 😉  I would then of course also put in some chocolates because what is valentines without chocolate?

I would love to see how the image inspires you.  Be sure it it coffee/tea/hot chocolate themed 🙂
