I started out by stamping my Cathy image, and saying (retired), from Art Impressions in memento tuxedo black ink on vanilla scrap card stock before coloring using Castle Arts watercolor pencils and a blending marker. Once the coloring was finished, I layered it and added brads. Setting my layered image aside, I took my Down To The Last Cup background from Picket Fence Studios and stamped it repeatedly in Adirondack espresso ink using a MISTI before stippling more espresso ink using my paper pouncers before adhering it to an espresso card base. After adding my layered image, I pulled out my Sakura 3D glaze pens and highlighted parts of the image before adding coffee beans sequins. I'm really happy with how it turned out since I made it while dealing with this migraine. I needed to try focusing on something besides the pain and this card was fairly easy for me to make.

I'm glad it was easy to make, Bonnie, and it's really a fun card, but I can't imagine making it with a migraine on board. You are a strong woman! And I totally love that sediment!! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
