Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Blog Hop

Hello!

It's time for the Spring/ Summer Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop!!! There are tons of inspiration to be had over the coming week!! I'll be sharing several cards, not sure yet how many as I'm still creating!!  You can start and get all the details over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!

There are lots and lots of wonderful sponsors, so make sure to get your coffee/tea/hot cocoa projects linked up!! One of the returning Super Sponsors the fabulous Graciellie Designs!! Today my card features the newest coffee digital stamp set: Coffee Queen. Please note the Graciellie Designs links are affiliate links at no extra cost to you!!!

This is my first card made with this set, later in the week I'll be sharing two more!! First I added one of the coffee images to a Word document. I resized it, making it a little one big side, then I added an sentiment.

After printing the image I used my Copic markers to color the image. When I printed the image I had an idea of what I was going to do with it, but as I started to create the card, I went in a totally different direction!! Instead of leaving most of the white around the image, I fussy cut out all out instead.

Then I made the background by doing some watercolor smooching with Altenew watercolors. I used a heat gun in between the orange and light purple, both colors to match my coffee cup. Then I cut the panel out with a stitched rectangle and adhered it to a black card base.

Next, I added the image with foam tape and then added a few rhinestones for some sparkle! Since the image fell over the edge, I did trim a little off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have fun over the next week with tons of coffee inspiration!!
