This month at STAMPlorations the CAS Challenge is to create something with a color twist of BLACK.
I thought it would be fun to not only create with black ink and black twine ... but also include a little tea (or coffee) play on words. Stamps are Coffee Happy & Caffeinated Christmas.
The Candy Cane paper was foiled using double-stick tape ... such a fun way to embellish paper. My finishing touch was to use a stamp from Mixed Media Elements - October 2015 to create some steam from the cup.
I'm also linking-up at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Coffee (and the sponsor is STAMPlorations)
Stephanie, what a smart use of the colour twist ;))

Stephanie, your stack of coffee cups (because that's what I've decide they are *grin*) are such fun, set atop the colourful candy cane paper! Sentiment: fantastic! Once again, thrilled to be playing alongside you as a GD for this challenge

Cool card, Stef! The black
Bakers Twine really finishes it off nicely...and the foil is awesome. Thanks for joining us at ATCAS.

Oh... now that is funny! I love that you didn't color the cups, either. Great card Stef, so glad you shared it with us at ATCAS this week
