Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hey there coffee loving cardmakers!  It’s Kerry here and I’m back for another Sunday Sip and Share!  I decided to play around and profess my love for the almighty coffee…Yes, I’m truly, madly, deeply in love with this delish concoction and cannot imagine life without it!

I started off by creating a little sewn-and-shabby heart using some scraps from a quilt I’m making.  I stitched up some strips and then dipped the fabric into some coffee to pick up a light coffee tint.  After it was dry, I cut it out into a heart shape and set it aside so I could work on the card.

I think this card took a “Valentine-ey” turn with the red, black and kraft colors, but I love it nonetheless.  I love the paisley medallion stamp I used in the background (Fun Stampers Journey:  Ornamental Dream) and I think it goes well with the coffee cup (Hero Arts: Hipster at Heart) and sentiment/hearts (Hero Arts: You Are My Happy) I used.  I stamped the cup using Versafine Onyx ink, heat set it, then colored with Copics (R29, R32, RV42, R0000, E23).  When finished, I added a bit of Journey Glaze to give it some shine.

I particularly love the scripty font on this sentiment!  It is so elegant and lovely, don’t you think?  After assembling the card onto Kraft Cardstock (and adding a few pearl embellishments, I set off to create the sketch.  Hope you enjoy!
