A Little Bit of Coffee

 

Hi Friends!

This weekend we are celebrating with the 2023 Spring Summer Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop.  It is a traditional hop this time with prizes and giveaways at each stop.

 I decided to combine a patriotic theme along with my coffee cups for a fun summer coffee card.

The coffee cup was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink before being masked and stamping the star onto the cup. Water-based markers were used to color the stars, shadowing in the white area of the cup was done with a black watercolor pencil and shimmer was added with shimmer paint.

The background at the top was colored with red and blue water-based markers before stamping onto white cardstock.

I finally received a new power cord for my Sew Mini Janome sewing machine so I was able to stitch the edges for the vellum and designer paper.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder and blue seam binding and lace were added to cover up the seam.

The coffee cups were added with dimensional foam and the card was finished off with red rhinestones.
