Thinking of you .... a latte


This card started with the inapiration photo that Inspiration Station has posted. I was inspired by the warm autumn colors and the juxtaposition of a warm drink with a colorful pumpkin. This digi image from Stamplorations seemed a good representation of that juxtaposition, and it was perfect for one of my favorite techniuqes, paper piecing. I dug out some snippets, including patterned papers to use for the paper piecing and cardstock for the various layers. Originally I was going to create a sentiment that said "thinking of you a latte," but decided to limit the groan factor and played it straight.
