Krafty Chicks challenge #844 - ATG with a twist

Good morning lovely friends; I hope your week is going well so far. I'm sharing my card for the new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 5; and as it's an extra week this month we have an anything goes theme and Lori is our hostess. However we are mixing it up this year and adding an optional twist and the twist this time is 'coffee' so we would love to see all your coffee inspired creations.  Such a fun twist and we hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

I recently picked up this stamp & die set and it was perfect for this theme.  I also needed a card for a friend's birthday so it worked out for that too.  I made my card 5" x 7" as it was for a special friend and used a new to me stencil too.  I think it turned out super cute and I hope you like it too. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the image:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 5" x 7" and used the coffee bean stencil and a warm cocoa ink pad to create my background.  I cut the panel down using the stitched rectangle from master layouts 08 and the plain rectangle die to cut a black mat layer and adhered them both together using liquid glue.  I stamped the image onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured it with my Promarkers and added some white highlights.  I used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I cut a circle from vellum and added the image onto it using foam squares.  I then added the circle onto the background using liquid glue. I stamped the two sentiments onto white card using black ink and die cut them out with stitched fishtail banner dies; I also blended the warm cocoa ink over both of them so that they would match the background.  I added both sentiments with liquid glue.  I finished off with a few pearls and adhered the panel onto my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and black panel as before and adhered them together using liquid glue.  I used a scrap piece of white card and using the coffee bean stencil and the warm cocoa ink.  I die cut it using the stitched rectangle and added it to the bottom of the white panel.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre using black ink and adhered the panel to my card base using double sided tape. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
