Coffee Lover's Blog Hop w/Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps

 

Hello everyone!  I hope your fall is off to a beautiful start.  I'm honored today to be joining my friends at Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps celebrating the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.  

I had such a blast getting inky for this card.  I dipped a Bristol panel into watery Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink and let it dry, then did the same on the reverse side with Vintage Photo.  I used a paint brush to let some ink drip down and carefully let this air dry.  I added some sponging along the edges to darken and "frame" the panel.

I pulled out the Coffee Talk stamps and dies and repeat stamped the to go cups and watercolored them in the same inks, then used the coordinating Coffee Talk die cuts to cut them all out.  I dried my panel with a heat tool after splashing on some extra ink, then rubbed it with an embossing buddy and used the coordinating sentiments to emboss in white.  What fun sayings!  

I had cut a couple of extra cups and used them with some scrap card to make a gift card pocket for my card innie.  I hope you'll check out these fun stamps on the Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps website and visit the blog for more inspiration.
