ATCA: Coffee, Anyone?

I came across this video the other day and thought coffee staining would make interesting backgrounds and embellishments for ATCs. If you agree, please grab a cup of coffee and make a beautiful mess with me!

. . . . . . . .

• Make one ATC for one partner using a background you have stained with coffee. Please feel free to experiment. The video is for inspiration only.

• Your ATC must be the standard 2.5" X 3.5" size on a sturdy backing.

• The methods and mediums you use to embellish your ATC are up to you. As always, though, please do not resort to simply slapping on a sticker or single piece of ephemera.

• Please title your piece and write the title on the back along with your name and the date on which the ATC was created.

Have fun!

ETA: I've been playing with these backgrounds and have discovered that they can be fragile. I've had better results after spraying the surface with a workable fixative before doing anything else to it. This may not be necessary on all types of paper, though.
