My Blood Type Is...Coffee



Hi everyone! I'm back with another card creation. Have you ever had an idea in your head and when you went to create it, it just wasn't going the way you hoped?  I had that with this card. 

I knew I wanted to use the set from Honey Bee stamps but once I pulled it out and started working I couldn't get a clear image of my finished project. I'm all about stamps these days that deal with coffee. Not sure why but I'm finding myself drawn to them. 

For this card I used two different stamp sets and three different die sets. Once I started getting things going it came together quite nicely.

I started by using a coffee ring embossing folder and sponging ink over it. This is usually my go to for when I want to add some ink to paper. 



I used my Altenew artist markers to color and shade in my cups and then cut a rectangle using a stitched die cut. Another one of my favorite techniques is direct color to paper. I used it on the rectangle to get the brown colored cardstock to back my coffee cups. 


Here are a couple of close ups. I added the black splatter at the end instead of digging out embellishments that I wasn't sure would even go with the card. 




THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!
