All occasion card featuring a shimmer cup of coffee with musical notes over a paper pieced background with eyelets

For DH's Father's Day card I decided to feature some of the things he likes - music and coffee!!!  The little cup was printed, watercoloured and then embellished with shimmery copper paint!!  The background started with a distressed piece of brown cardstock which I embossed with the Script embossing folder from SU.  I added small pieces of scrapbook paper to create a bit of a grid to frame my image.  After weaving the strips and gluing them into place I added some pewter eyelets for added texture.  I tied beige twine in the two eyelets on either side on the lower edge.  More texture!!!  I ran the pattern tracing wheel all the way around my coffee cup once it was dry and then mounted it to copper foil and then added it to my background.  My ivory card then contrasted too starkly so I embellished its outer edge with a texture stamp and brown ink and then watercoloured it in yellow.  Much better!!!
