Coffee Loving Card Makers Blog Hop - Card #2

Hello!!

Today I'm back with my second card for the Coffee Loving Card Makers!! This summer I used some Birthday money and got this super cute octopus die, but I never got around to using it. So I got to think of a way to use it for the hop and I think it turned out so cute!!!

I started by die cutting the octopus by Spellbinders and then using my Spectrum Noir Harmony Inkpads Ocean Blue, Baby Blue and Midnight to ink up the octopus. I figured blue because whats more winter then blue!!

Then I pulled out Honey Bee Stamps Flakey Friends it has just the right sized coffee cups, scarf and hat for my octopus. I used colored ink to stamp the cups. For the scarf and hat I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color them up. Then I just fussy cut everything out and adhered them to the octopus!

Next, I cut a strip of white card stock and stamped the Cold Hands Warm Hearts from Echo Park Paper Co - But First Coffee stamp set. I adhered the strip to a snow patterned acetate and then finally to some blue glitter cardstock. Everything went on a cardbase and the octopus was added with foam tape!

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Make sure to stop by and check out all the sponsors, then play along for your chance to win!
