Coffee Card Tutorial

Hello friends! It is Monday and we have a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog theme for you.

This week our theme is Delicious Drinks. I hope you will join us in the challenge. During August, Carrie Swift aka Redfire Studios is our guest designer.

I made a coffee-themed card this week, with splatters and stamped images colored with pencils. The stamps are from Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints 9 set. I lined the images up with the help of the stamped dots in the background, so that there would just be one line of dots in between the images.

Stamp the images from Mini Blueprints 9 on Backdrop paper with black ink.

Color with colored pencils. I used Prismacolors and used the white pencil to blend the colors slightly.

Smear Distress Ink on a non-stick craft sheet, mist with water and pick up with a paint brush. Tap the paint brush to create splatters.

Stamp Simon Says Stamp Halftone Background with brown ink on kraft paper.

I inked the edges of the panels with Vintage Photo.

I also added a few pink pearls.

I almost only drink coffee in this format, with my favorite cups.

My favorite image is the one with the coffee beans.

The sentiment was stamped with Tim Holtz Tiny Text and cut into a strip. I placed a piece of lace trim underneath.
