Fusion - Coffee Chalkboard

A very quick post for a card that took ALL AFTERNOON!  Oh, goodness!  I am really rusty when it comes to fusing - especially when there is patterned paper involved!  My card is a mini-slimline which doesn't allow for much real estate for adding embellishments.  But I'm happy with the results - and I needed a belated birthday card that should [fingers crossed] bring a smile...


The papers I used today were a gift from a sweet friend - that base paper was IMHO a perfect 'chalkboard' look with florals instead of the graphic coffee-related words in the Fusion Coffee Chalkboard photo.  Add to that: my cup, a few little blooms cut from Bazzill Pale Rose, and Alpaca card stock, and a linen lined shelf for a quick fusion to their sketch.

That's it for me - hope you have a great weekend!!

    The dark chalkboard 'look' background shows off your 'little' scene to perfection Michele x. The 'linen lined shelf' is adorable and what a fun sentiment too x.

    You are so clever with color and design. This card is a ideal fusion of the mood board and beautifully assembles, as always.

    Oh, yes, I know the feeling. It's like spending all afternoon or longer cooking a great meal and it's gobbled up in minutes. But it's still fun! You made a delightful card with the fusion inspiration.

    A wonderful paper choice for the background, Michele! It does look like a chalkboard, and the pale pink dainty blooms and linen shelf pop against the dark background. The punny sentiment is fun. This card made me check out an Affogato recipe! :-D Yummy!!
