The image was stamped on Whisper White with Mica Bronze and then heat embossed to dry. It was painted with Twinkling H2O's. Liquid Applique was applied to the whipped cream area and heated. Glossy Accents was applied to the hearts in the middle and Deep Pink Art Institute Glitter was added. The steamy hearts were stamped with Bronze, as were the words (Masking was used to get them were they are). I used Glossy Accents for the small hearts in the "steam" and applied Instant Coffee" flakes while they were still wet. The ribbon is May Art and was applied using Japanese Stab Binding technique. There is a video that shows it in slow motion for beginners. The link is on my blog, http://cardartetc.blogspot.com/ . I used wire to attach the coffee beads and anchored them with glue dots "to protect the innocent". Ha! Happy Valentine's Day. Thanks for looking.

this is so cute. I have this set and maybe I need to get it out and get to work with it-after seeing what you made I want some more coffee related cards. TFS
