Coffee with Cream Anyone???

I've made this card for a very good friend of mine to let her know I am thinking of her. I followed the theme set at Simon Says Stamp and have used the theme for my colour scheme, image and contents of my card! I've distressed my papers to within an inch of their lives.

On the inside I made a pocket to slip in a pack of Starbucks coffee sachets, tied with some coffee themed ribbon from Crafty Ribbons...

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Crafty Catz - Friendship
Simon Says Stamp - Coffee & Cream

Supplies:
Cardstock - Bazzill kraft
Papers - Sparkling Spring by Prima from Quixotic Paperie
Image - Willow With Hot Chocolate from Whiff of Joy coloured with Promarkers
Flowers - mixture of candy win from the lovely Bev and Crafty Emma's Store; mini cones nicked from Center Parcs (yep I'm still using them!)
Ribbons - brown from my lovely friend Jennie; coffee cotton ribbon from Crafty Ribbons; cream raffia from stash (had this for AGES!)
Ticket - Tim Holtz from Crafty Emma's Store
Doily - Joanna Sheen
Pearls - The Hobby House
Coffee - Tesco ;-)
Tools - oval and scallop oval Nesties, scissors for distressing
