Hello everyone… Happy Friday! Welcome to the collaboration blog hop between Coffee Loving Cardmakers and CASual Fridays. Let’s grab your favorite drink and hopping with us.
These collaboration blog hop starts at Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog and CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog. This blog hop is full of fabulous inspirations from both design teams and also…. PRIZE to win!!! You should have arrived to my blog from my teammate, Erin.
I created 2 cards for this blog hop using the Coffee Talk Stamp Set and the Coffee Cup Fri-Dies Set.
On the first card, I use smooshing technique with Distress Oxide Ink Pads, water, and watercolor paper. And then cut out the cup with the large size cup die. And the I cut out the coffee word out of a scrap watercolored paper I had in stash. For the background, I added some splatters using Cocoa Marabu Art Spray directly on the patterned card from my stash. I added some vitage look to it by adding some of the Vintage Photo Distress Ink with make up sponge. I stamped the sentiment with Hero Art Autum Ombre Ink Pad and finished it with some sequins and twine.
My second card is inspired by these challenges from CAS-ual Fridays:
