Coffee With Friends AHSC #591

After an extremely busy week it was fun to sit down and try out this week's
sketch design by Michelle at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  This uncomplicated design was just what I needed, and it didn't take me long to figure out what I wanted to make with it.

HERE'S MY CARD: 

One of my guilty pleasures in life is a good cup of coffee and the only thing better is sharing time with a friend over a cup of coffee.  I loved the sentiment "this one's on me" and thought it would be the perfect saying on a note card to invite a friend to join me "on the house".  

I flipped this sketch sideways and added an additional mat using the Designer Series Paper on the card front.  

I fussy cut 2 coffee mugs from one of the designer series papers for the focal point popping up the Lost Lagoon colored mug with dimensionals. I also used dimensionals to support the stitched circle and nested it over top of some linen thread that was laid down in a figure eight.
