@ cup of thanks and some Gaubert

I had my first Doctoral recital at school on Tuesday (it was supposed to be at the end of October, but Hurricane Sandy came instead) and I wanted to do something nice to thank all of my friends at school who were generous enough to perform on my recital. (By the way, the recital went awesome - I was very pleased!) So I got out the new Paper Smooches set, Cyber Cafe, and got busy making cards to accompany the Stabucks gift certificates I got for everyone. This stamp set was PERFECT for that! I even used some Colorbox ink in the shade of brown called Espresso.

Oh, and I thought I'd share a piece from my recital, for anyone who might be interested in hearing some flute music! This is the Nocturne et Allegro Scherzando by Gaubert, a French composer:

And here's the thank you card I made for everyone, this was super easy to reproduce. I made nine of them to give out, plus a few extras for future coffee-giving occasions.

I cut slits with my xacto knife inside to attach the gift card:

I love how the coffee beans stamped on the craft - not always with the same amount of pigment. I think it had to do with the pressure I used on the stamp, but I think it came out looking so cool. I purposefully went with an all brown color scheme to keep the cards gender neutral. The brown dotted paper is from Lilybee design's Autumn Spice 6x6 paper pad.

Wow, such a wonderful play Lisa! It's like a cd that I'm listening to, so cool to know it's you! And I love how the gift card turned out, I don't mind about the difference on the inked beans, I just love that. And if it turned out a little bit different than you had in mind, just shout HAND MADE!;)
Oh and you asked if I used real cork or pp on my card, it's patterned paper!

Thanks for listening, Hilde!!
