Shades of coffee # 42

In making this card for 52CCT, I have had issues with stamping, glitter, glue and tape and that was after I had made up my mind what to make, which took a week.There is glitter everywhere in my crafty corner and beyond. 
The colour theme is Coffee and Cream.
I see now there is precious little cream on this card as the design evolved from my original plan in which the wreath was on a cream background. Assume the cream is in the coffee! I have various shades of coffee from latte to espresso. I do have sugar crystals though, to make up for lack of cream.

I'm entering anyway as so much grief was involved in the making. It does look better in real life than in the picture and I like the sentiment across the middle giving it a vintage look. 
I'm linking with:

Merry Monday - I've noticed in blogland that Vintage is the theme.
Pixie's Snippets Playground as it's fun in the playground and I need reminding this is supposed to be fun. Snippets of card and ribbon. Though this is very sad compared to the amazing creations there made from snippets. I seem to create more than I use.
