Happy Tuesday! Today’s card is very simple… but it features one of my favorite things, coffee, together with some great images from Concord & 9th.
The coffee spill effect on my central point was created with the splatter/shadow type leaf shape from the set, inked with two colors of Distress Ink and misted with water. It’s kinda a funky shape thats fun to use behind the sentiment instead of behind the lace leaf that it was designed for!
I used a shimmery silver embossing powder over brown ink and it ended up somewhat translucent over the text and the little heart on the coffee cup. I decided to play up that shimmer and use silver glitter paper, bling and some brown crinkle ribbon to complete the card.
For a neutral colored card, there’s actually quite a bit of shimmer going on! The background of my card was simply stamped, repeating the sentiment in a staggered fashion in two different shades of brown Distress Oxide Ink. I added a few hearts to fill in open spaces and then inked over it all, going darker from the edges in, with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
We have much to be thankful for… but every day I start with being thankful for coffee 🙂
Inky hugs,
Tara
