Hello there coffee loving friends! It’s Kerry here to share my FIRST Sunday Sip & Share post with you. Every Sunday, I’ll pop in to share a little project I create and will use that card as a springboard for a sketch.
When I create cards, I tend to just go with the flow. I hardly ever sit down with a plan in mind. I just sit, sip my coffee and create…After I’m finished with my card, I love to create a sketch that mimics the layout. It’s a bit backwards, don’t you think?
Every time I post a card for my Sunday Sip & Share, I’ll share the coordinating sketch too. I hope you enjoy! If you choose to use our sketch to create a yummy card, please stop back here to share a link to your creation. We’d love to see it!
So let’s get on with the first Sunday’s Sip & Share shall we?
I love creating fun backgrounds for my stamped cards and this was so fun! I used a new stencil I purchased recently called Abstract Wall and applied Light Gold, Yellow Ochre and Paynes Gray Tint PanPastels in an overlapping color pattern. Once finished, I added some gold embossing powder here and there by dabbing my clear embossing ink on the paper and the edges.
You can see the shimmer effect that is created on the background layer using the Light Gold PanPastel. I love this medium and it works perfectly to create the soft backgrounds I love. And just look at that yummy golden embossing powder…
After creating the background, I applied some matching ribbon and lace from my stash. Then, I selected a few feathers to add dimension and texture and tied it with a little twine bow. The sentiment and beans from the Uniko set “I LOVE COFFEE” were stamped using Versafine Onyx Ink and embossed with Journey Gold Embossing Powder. I elected to stamp the sentiment onto graph paper to add a little contrast to the piece.
And finally, on to the sketch:
I hope you enjoyed my creation today and if you enjoy the sketch, please share your creation with us. When posting your creation, please stop back and share a link here. You can use the hashtag #clcsipandshare when posting to social media. You never know, I just might have some coffee loving treats for one special participant!
