My card is an A2 size card. I used the newly released Quokka Coffee 6x6 paper pad to create the background. I then stamped the image from the Coffee Quokka Stamp Set and colored with copics and die cut. I added the image to the card, stamped and embossed the sentiment from the coffee Quokka Stamp Set with white embossing powder and die cut it with KS Boxed Sentiment Stripes die. To finish off the card, I added some Rootbeer Float embellishments.
