I saw a card using this stamp set on Coffee-Loving Cardmakers, and thought about it for a long time before ordering the set from Cat's Pajamas recently. The set features two of my recurring card themes and stamp purchases: coffee/tea related stamps and saucy/sassy/snarky/wry/irreverent (which is the best descriptor???) sentiments.
I also wanted to practice with my watercolor markers, so I just stamped and embossed a bunch of images, and used my favorite for this card. And look at me actually using some rhinestones I got for free with a stamp purchase a year ago. I like a clean and simple card, but this one needed something.
Thinking about the card again this morning, if I were to do it over, which I might, I would leave the mug plain, or stamp or pattern piece a design on it, and then stamp the image with the sentiment in the same location on the inside of the card, leaving the sentiment as a surprise for the recipient.
