The large coffee cooladas look super yummy. I made mine an Irish Whiskey Coolada with cinnamon on the whipped cream.
My WOWs are the fun you can have with gel medium and paint AND the fun you can have with aluminum foil, some kitchen supplies, and ink. I made fake bacon the first time I tried the gel medium and I was blown away with how real it looked. I love playing with aluminum foil and ink - always reminds me of Susie A. since I learned it from her. She is WOW too.
I made the whipping cream by mixing gel medium and white acrylic paint. I added it to a piece of acetate and laid it on thick and fluffy. I added some cinnamon and heated it with a heat gun. It bubbled all up adding dimension plus it smells good (don't smell while heating - I do mine over my stove fan with it going full blast just in case the fumes are a bit scary). I cut it to fit my coffee cup.
To make my bg panel, I crumbled up some aluminum foil and swiped on green and brown ink. Splashed with water and got ugly brown. Went with it. Dried it all and then did just green and added it to the panel as well. Then it was too green so I mixed up some coffee, cinnamon, and brown ink and dipped in the bottom of my breakfast drink (had mouth surgery and on a liquid diet - urgh). Then I stamped that around the page to make "coffee rings."
The whipped cream looks real and smells awesome. I want to make something else with whipped cream now!
This also fits the WT674 challenge - I have clubs and added a special little cutout one on my coffee cup in honor of that fun challenge.

How did I miss this!!!! You are a star Nancy, everything about this is WOW, WOW, WOW!! You have taken aluminium foil up a notch, this looks incredible. Your bacon card is still firmly planted in my brain and I think of you EVERY time I see nice piece of corrugated cardboard. Only crafters would get that LOL. Your work always inspires me my friend.
