Coffee Lovers Blog Hop: Gift Card Holder

 
Back with my second card for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.
I needed a gift card holder. 
The recipient loves purple so I made the background
 with a variety of distress inks spritzed with water.
I used my new Misti to stamp the sentiment several times
over the background.  LOVE my new toy!
