Stampin' In Alaska

I'm so excited to join the first Stay Crafty with Hero Arts challenge.  Their first challenge is about encouragement.  Who wouldn't be encouraged with this yummy cuppa latte!!  I started by stamping the coffee cup and foam from the August 2018 Hero Arts Kit. The images were colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  I wanted the card to be bright and cheerful so I pulled out Doodlebug Designs Cream & Sugar paper pad for the panels.  Of course, I finished with a few gems and a coordinating sentiment. The card design was inspired by one of the current Mojo Monday sketches.

This set features a fabulous coffee cup image and 5 coordinating sentiments.  Of course, I'm a coffee lover and this set made me smile all over!  Coffee AND gorgeous floral accents.  What more could I ask for? My card started by printing the coffee cup digital image onto Core' dinations white canvas card stock.  The image was water colored using a water brush with Tim Holtz distress inks in Wild Honey, Weathered Wood, Ground Espresso and Peeled Paint. The cup was fussy cut and layered onto designer papers from MME Sunshine paper pad with foam tape for dimension.  A partial doiley, gold cord and machine stitched border embellish the card.  Of course, the card was finished with one of the fabulous coordinating sentiments from the new set.  It was also p...
