Jolanda that background is such a scene-stealer – the overall embossing brings those neutrals together perfectly and the warm colours compliment you coffee cup perfectly. Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping you get your power back soon!

Oh that texture, Jolanda! What a beautiful background! I am going to have to buy this embossing folder. The neutral colors work so well with the coffee theme. This is such a feel-good card!

Proof that monochromatic does not equal uninteresting! The embossing of the pieced background is a great addition to the design.

Thank you, Stef! Still no power…but we are good.
Getting a bit bored. Reading…crafting and blogging is a bit difficult. It gets dark so early…we are in bed much too soon.
But for us, no damage. Glad we have a generator.
