For my project I did a going away card for a coworker who got promoted.
I made a custom sentiment “We will miss you a latte” by selectively inking one of the sentiments in the “Love You a Latte” stamp sets. I decorated the background by repeatedly stamping the cute little bean from the stamp set in different directions. I distressed the background so it looked like it had coffee spilled on it and a coffee ring. I made the coffee by putting some wet distress ink on a circle die and pressing it on the paper.

Great idea adding the distress ink edges to your card — it creates the perfect coffee ring stain look!!

Love the face on the cup and all of the coffee “stains’. I think shading really adds a nice touch to any card. I especially like the 2 part sentiment. What a super cute idea! Thanks for sharing.
