I went a totally different way with this inspiration photo. I used the colours of the cake (pink, blue, purple) in my background with a piece of watercolouring tissue paper. The chocolate icing has turned into a delicious cup of coffee. :) I added a shimmer spritz to the coffee cup and frame to make it more festive and it also darkens the brown card stock. Stamped the sentiment in the same ink colour as the card stock, heat embossing in clear.

Heeheehee coffee o'clock! love it! and the background you created is beautiful!!
Love this die and the background! These colors play so well together! Fun sentiment too!
Love your creative licence on the photo, Loll! The background is so pretty... beautiful colours. Love that die... which you should also enter in the STAMPlorations Anything Goes challenge. 😉
You took that photo and made a card in your own style, Loll, and it looks fabulous.
Now you just need a piece of that wonderful looking cake to go with your cup of coffee!! Great innovative take on the inspiration, and beautiful colours in your background.
Great Card Loll. I love your beautiful background for the die cut coffee cup and perfect sentiment :)
Beautiful use of the colors of your inspiration and as always, such a gorgeous background. That coffee cup die is wonderful, Loll, so perfect on this. This is such a creative take on your inspiration.
I LOVE this!!! ♥
I think the sentiment is terrific! The background colors are so pretty and the bold brown design on the image really stands out nicely. Makes for a fun card. I like your creativity! :)
I love your fabulous take on the inspiration photo!
A lovely and unique take on the challenge. Beautiful blending.
Wow, what a nice combination for that background, and I agree that dark coffee cup is the perfect compliment ...I'll be right over ;-) Love it! xx
I love your unique take on the photo inspiration, Lolly! The frosting looks fabulous as a background and turning the chocolate into coffee was inspired!! Thank you so much for joining in the Inspired By All the Little Things Challenge! Hugs, Dolly
I am sipping my first cup of morning coffee -- love this part of my day -- so how neat that I came across your latest card! The black silouette die and stamp against those background colors is so striking. Plus what a great theme.
oops...meant to say "brown" not black silouette die...it is coffee after all(!)
fun card...love the look.

Your background works perfectly with the coffee cup, Loll...your color palette is so pretty and really makes the black silhouette pop! Love your CAS design, too!
This looks delicious and fun!
I really like this die CUTplorations. The background you created for him looks great. I love these blue-purple spots in contrast to a black cup. Great card and sentiment so perfectly matched.
Hugs,

What a great idea to make the background in those pretty pastels and then the delicious cup of coffee in that dark brown which really packs a punch Loll. x
This looks great, the coffee cup looks so striking against the pretty pastel background xx
