Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop - What’s Brewing?


Hello again!  I am still having fun making coffee themed cards for the Blog Hop.  Today, I have one with a couple nice stamps from Just for Fun Rubber Stamps.  For those of you who are new, this is one of the design teams I am on.  


This stamp is called Latte Love and it is one of my favorites.  The sentiment is What’s Brewing.  They also have a whole section of coffee, tea and wine stamps that are a bit different than you see elsewhere.  

I colored my stamp with alcohol markers, using colors from this patterned paper I wanted to use.  I then added Wink of Stella to the coffee, and Nuvo Drops glitter glue to the heart.

The background is Distress Oxides.  I nearly always coat my cardstock first with a light layer of gesso before I make this type of Distress Oxide smooshed background. I feel like I get better layers when I do this.  

Then I just finished the card with the sentiment heat embossed on vellum.




Thank you so much for visiting today!  For new visitors, I hope you will consider following my blog and leaving a comment. 

Have a great day!  Stay caffeinated and crafty!

Your coloring is superb, and I love the added sparkle! That background is super cool as well. Thanks for the tip of using gesso first, I'll have to try that!

Great tip with the light layer of gesso...I would have never thought to do that. I love your card, the stamped image and the way you've coloured it in and the pop of glitter. The splattered oxides look great too x.
