Bug A Boo Stamps Coffee Time

I've had so much fun making this card for our Bug A Boo Stamps Catch The Bug challenge that starts today!  The theme is Polka Dots & Stripes.  

I colored the coffee cups image a few weeks ago during a craft night at our church, I'm sorry to say I don't have any color numbers for you.  I took a limited supply of markers and colored images that night. It had been a rough day & I needed some Copic therapy.  

One of the things that made putting this card together really fun were the odd colors.  I like the shade of the red coffee cup and realized I have several sheets of cardstock that matched perfectly.  I was given them as samples when I was at Kelly Paper in Phoenix quite long ago.  The cardstock is Via Vellum Scarlett.  I needed some striped paper so I opened my digital papers folder and looked around.  My striped paper was made by Jak Heath & started out red but I reformatted my image and changed the color to as close to Stampin' Up! More Mustard as I could tell on a computer screen and printed it on SU More Mustard cardstock, I like it!

The blue/green coffee cup is close to Stampin' Up! Taken With Teal and would make a nice maybe weird pop of color for the border on the right side and Nut Brown would tie it all together.  

I forgot to tell you that for my layout I used Mojo Monday #188 sketch in a rectangular shape instead of round or square. The image is cut out with a Spellbinders Oval die and matted with a Spellbinders Scalloped Oval die.  The scalloped border is a punch by Stampin' Up!, the flowers are an EK Success punch and I added Dew Drops to the centers as well as three Dew Drops on the red panel, rich brown organdy ribbon and my sentiment was a freebie by Create With TLC. 

I hope you'll join us this week at Catch The Bug for our Polka Dots & Stripes challenge!
