I have been trying to resist the Like it a Latte set because I have the retired What's Brewin set. But I really like all the cards I'm seeing so thought I would try to get close. My breakthrough came when I found a stamp in the Sweet Shapes set that resembles the steam. So here is my card. I may still break under the pressure eventually and get the set though :-)
Thanks to BadSherry for mentioning that she uses Tulip Puffy paint for the foam. That stuff is fun. I also copied her use of copper EP to look like cinnamon. Lastly I used DebbieDesigns trick of punching out 2 scallop squares and overlapping to get the scallop rectangle.
The fancy paper is from a Christmas present that my daughter gave me. There's also linen in the background but I don't know if you can see that. Happy New Year everyone and thanks for looking!
p.s. I learned the hard way that you should cut your paper to size before adding the puffy paint :-)

This is just adorable! I love the puffy foam and you're so creative to use that stamp for the steam. You're colors make me happy and those brads are too cute. Fabulous card!

From one coffee lover to another, you will love the Like it A latte set! (I also tried to resist) I also still love Whats Brewin and you did a super job with your substitutions. I really like the bold colors in the wrapping paper. TFS!
