Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello there coffee loving friends!  It’s Kerry here sharing a whimsical little coffee-loving card for you today!  Did you know that mermaids drink coffee?  Yep, they do!  Here’s a little lady with her first cup of the day in her favorite shell mug.  I had such a ball creating this little card and I hope you like it too. You can find this stamp set at Joy Clair Stamps.  It’s called Seas The Day.

To create this little cutie, I selected some watercolors and some sparkle to give her some pop. Mermaids have to be sparkly to maintain their full effect, right?   I cut one of her braids off so that I would have room for a hand-doodled coffee mug.  After cutting and assembling the mermaid, I rubbed a bit of seafoam green PanPastel over the card base then drew a slight wave pattern with my Zig pen along the card edge.  This allowed me to break up the linear aspect of the card and helped add to the whimsy.  I added a strip of aqua sparkle washi to the inside card flap to add some additional fun!

Her sparkles are sparkly, aren’t they!!!  I just LOVE this little girl!  Adding some glossy accents and some sparkle over the water doodles helps add dimension and add fun to the card base.

Just a little doodle here and there because this stamp set just screamed for more.  🙂

Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle!!!  I love sparkle!
