Best Friends Fall Coffee Lovers Card – Upcycled Coffee Stirrers

Welcome back to to day two of the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

For those of you who follow me, you know I always try to upcycle some coffee stirrers in at least one of my Coffee Lovers hop entries.

 This on you can see HERE

 And this one, in my pre-blog days, was posted HERE.

For today’s watercolor card I have incorporated some Panera and Starbucks coffee stirrers – the perfect fall combo!

I have a dear friend who often takes me to Panera or Starbucks for a cuppa’ when we’re out shopping. One of these gals looks a lot like her. The other looks kind’a  like me… in a fun-house skinny mirror! lol! I think I’ll send this to her as a reminder of the fun times we spend together!

Materials used:

• Inkadinkado Fall Seasons stamp set (tree)
• Studio 112 stamp set – All Occasions Mini Assortment – 1
