what's perking?

I think all you lovely blog happy card obsessed folks out there are awesome. I've been doing the happy dance for several days now- first from the package of stamps I bought myself and then from smaller goodies- like this Hero Arts What's Perking set from my blogging pal Karen. Many thanks for the goodies, I love that you're willing to share you blog candy with me, your coffee card making over sharing card obsessed friend. It all just makes me smile. Right, back to the card. I tried to use the Color Throwdown colors, please forgive the ribbon shades lovely ladies, now I if only I had a Stampin Up rep in my lady to upsell me on all sorts of color coordinating ribbon I would've been set.... 365 Cards has the challenge to use ribbon as a background and I thought a little square of it would be a fun textured backdrop for the coffee pot. Hero Arts is having a July food challenge, so very excited to add this to their flickr album.

Materials: white card stock from Spotlight, Stampin Up Certainly Celerycard stock, Stampin Up Almost Navy card stock, Stampin Up Baja Breeze card stock, Hero Arts stamp and sentiment, Stampin up water colors and versamark pen, Fiskars circle punch, Stampin Up Almost Navy ink, Misc ribbon (mostly American Crafts)
