Not sure if I cheated, but I went with a black card base, which in turn makes a black background. I did use a Simon Says stamp Grid Background [retired], and black embossed that. So yeah, I got the challenge covered :). I was going to go with a brightly colored flower bouquet, but I saw this cup from STAMPlorations [retired] and decided to go coffee instead.
I do love this big ole cup!
I used a sticker from STAMPlorations Coffee Heaven Stickers. I adore these stickers. Makes it so easy to add a lovely fonted sentiment on my cards.
That's mine for today. Come on over to the JUGS Challenge and play along! Can't wait to see how you use a black background.
Thanks for stopping by~

Not cheating at all to use a black card base Vicki! I love the embossed grid background and the coffee cup with its fabulous sentiment (a sticker? Where can I get those!!!) and little pop of colour looks amazing against it. Vicky x

WOW! does this card just send you to your coffee machine! I can smell it brewing. Love the embossed background on your 'black' paper.
I love your black embossing on the black background! Great choice using that coffee cup and I like how you colored the one flower, too.
Love that grid background and of course that wonderful coffee cup is awesome! Nicely done!
