Thursday Coffee Break: Monochromatic Cards

Good morning… It is Thursday! We are already in the middle of the week… I hope your week has been great so far. This week we have another warmer Fall days which is very unusual for us in Ohio in November. But I am thankful for sunshine and pretty colorful leaves to enjoy around us 🙂

Let’s grab a cup of your favorite drink and take a little break with me today. You notice that coloring book for adults is a big hit lately. We see that at almost every stores, even when you go to grocery stores, you will find them! Today, I wanna share with you an adorable Coffee Time coloring page from ADORNit, one of our Coffee Blog Hop Super Sponsor.

This 12×12 – ADORNit Art Play Paintable page is covered with those cute adorable coffee theme pictures that you can paint and color with any mediums. Couple of weeks ago, I colored three of these pictures with watercolor paints.

And today, I turned them into these cards. I grabbed some of the ADORNit – Blender Basic Papers to create these monochromatic cards:

On the patterned papers I added some Vintage Photo Distress ink with sponger to give some extra shadow to them.

I also embellished them with some natural twine, gems and mini staplers. Not to much so the focal point is still the colored images and sentiment on the cards.

I hope these cards give you some inspirations to create cards out of your coloring pages instead of just leave them sitting around. Let’s share some joy and love with handmade cards with others!

THANK YOU for taking a break with me today and have a fabulous day!!
