Spellbinders - Coffee with Seth

Hello friends thank you for stopping by today I'm excited to be sharing a card with you using one of Spellbinders new dies by Licensed Designer Seth Apter. If you know me you know I love my coffee and what is better than a coffee with Seth.

 The Shapeabilities Ring String Etched Dies by Seth Apter has been cut and embossed using textured paper from my stash.  Lightly sand the Ring String using a Sanding Block.  Next it has been adhered to corrugated card that has been lightly sponged using Imagine Memento ink in Teal Zeal.

Note: If you do not have textured paper, embossed paper would look great too.

Lots of fabulous layers and texture but still not too bulky for posting - something I try to be conscious of.   The layered rings have been adhered to a pre-cut card front that has been stamped using the coffee beans from the Flourishes,lc My Cup Overflows stamp set and Imagine Memento Ink in Espresso Truffle. The coffee up and sentiment are also from the Flourishes,lc stamp set - the cup has been coloured using Chameleon Pens.  I am thinking the sentiment would suit many occasions from thinking of you...to Happy Birthday - wanna meet for coffee?!  What do you think?
