Spring/Summer Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop -- Card #2

It's Tuesday, which means that it's my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps and for the  Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Topflight Stamps is a sponsor and is offering a $25 gift card to one lucky person. All winners will be announced on the Coffee Lover's Blog. Pretty nifty, eh?

I was going to create at least two coffee-themed cards for this post, but I optimistically decided that one would be a shaker card. I like shaker cards. They don't like me. It went south several times, which ate up a bunch of time. Sadly, I don't think I learned from my mistakes and am not over-the-top thrilled, but perfection is overrated. Or so they say. I'm a Virgo, so I'm not sure I agree, but there comes a point...

Anyway here's my shaker card using the Morning Clear Stamp Set #253 by AALL and Create, the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Stencil by Visible Image, and Prism Ink pads by Hunkydory Crafts.
