Color Throwdown #284- Espresso My Thanks!!

Welcome to another Wednesday Color Throwdown challenge. This week the colors are brought to us by Barbara...


Confession and coincidence... when I work on my cards, I pull the colors and go from there... was a little stumped this week {well, with my pea brain, I can be stumped a lot} but, I went with a new stamp set... recently made two purchases at Reverse Confetti and not one stamp/die had seen ink!!


So, the coincidence... I used a "cup" image.... and I wished I had added some circles in the Bermuda bay behind the enamel dots/crumbcake in the upper right corner...well, that's what I think at the moment anywho :)

Used the Deconstructing Jen Sketch for the layout... always fun!
