A Recipe Challenge with Bugaboo Stamps

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today!

It's all about the

Recipe

We want to see

Kraft, Embossing and a 'POP' of color

My card features several oldie Bugaboo Stamps images:  Coffee Bean Spoon, Coffee Bean Got Milk, Coffee Bean Sugar and Coffee Bean Sugar Cubes, as well as Grumpy Gertrude Touch Coffee on the inside of my card. 

I started by coloring each coffee bean image, and arranged them to fit the width of my card. I actually colored the "sugar" on the spoon of the Coffee Bean Sugar image to look like instant coffee grounds because I actually like to drink instant; in fact, we don't own a brewing coffee pot, we own a Kuerig, which has turned into an overpriced hot water heater, as we never buy the cups for it. Crazy, I know!

I almost never use Kraft card stock or papers, so I wasn't sure how I was going to do so for this project. It was one of those projects that take a couple days  to finish, being left after each stage of creating to mull over the "what else does it need?" question that gnaws at my brain when I don't think something looks done.

I ended up embossing a sheet of Kraft card stock with one of my Cuttlebug folders, Spots N Dots. I layered it onto a Kraft card stock base (it's an A2 size). I used some Stampin' Up Kraft designer paper that I've had for eons in my stash, which I punched with a Martha Stewart edge punch. The 'POP' of color I chose is purple, so I layered my sentiment on a piece of sscrap purple card stock. The inside sentiment is also layered on the same purple color.

My sentiment was created by me in PSE, using Typewriter font.

Here's a look at the inside of my card, using the Grumpy Gertrude Touch Coffee image, which I left uncolored. I did not use the sentiment that comes with her from Bugaboo, but I made up my own.
