August 12: Guest Designer

Dana Warren is back with us as this month’s Guest Designer!  Take it away Dana:

Hello, Coffee Lovers! I’m here with my second card, it features Art Impressions Girlfriend Blend stamp set! These ladies make for a great card to send to a close group of girlfriends, especially coffee loving girlfriends!!

Picture1

 

I stamped the ladies on watercolor and used my Distress Markers and water to color them. Then I just fussy cut them out. Don’t they look like they are having the best time?!?!

Picture2

For the background I used Hero Arts Floral Filigree Pair Stencil, I used Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I didn’t ink the whole stencil, just a little more than half. I added a strip of Kraft cardstock to the panel and then stamped the Hot Java Mamas! Sentiment in brown ink.

Next, I added the ladies to the panel with foam tape. From my stash, I found some light brown sequins that were from a long ago kit. Last I added the panel to a white card base.

Thanks for looking, I hope you have a great day!!

Dana

    Such a joyful group! Art Impressions have the funniest stamps :). The background add so much to the design… not only because it is coffee colored, lol, but also because it’s very beautiful!
