Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello hello hello everyone… Helen is here. February is almost gone and March is coming. I am so ready for Spring… Today, my dear coffee loving friends, we are taking a Thursday Break with this St. Patrick’s inspired coffee card.

On this CAS card, I use the Coffee Talk Clear Stamp Set and Lucky Charm Clear Stamp Set from our Super Sponsor, Joy Clair.

I used the smooshing technique to create the background. I smooshed some of the Grass Skirt Catherine Pooler Ink Pad on a craft mat, sprayed some water, and smooshed a piece of mixed media paper in the ink. I dried it with craft heater and then I sprayed with some water using Distress Sprayer bottle, let it sit for couple second, and then dabbed if off with paper towel. I dried it one more time with craft heater.

On that watercolored background, I stamped some of the clover leaves image from the Lucky Charm Clear Stamp Set with Verdant VersaFine Clair Ink Pad.

I trimmed the watercolored background with Fiskar paper trimmer slightly smaller than the green card base. I added it on the card with Tombow Mono permanent adhesive runner.

Using MISTI, I stamped cup from Coffee Talk Clear Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black on a white cardstock, and then I stamped the circle that comes in the same stamp set in the middle of the cup using Memento Rich Cocoa Ink Pad.

After that, I added some anti-static powder on that image and then I stamped the clover leaf image from the Lucky Charm Clear Stamp Set using VersaMark Ink Pad, and I sprinkled it with some Extra Fine White Embossing Powder. I heat set the powder with craft heater.

I colored it with Arteza Woodless Watercolord pencils and Gold Metallic Finetec Watercolor Paint and then I fussy cut the cup with micro-tip scissors. I added it on the card with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lucky Charm Clear Stamp Set with Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. I trimmed it with Fiskar paper trimmer and added on the card with 3D foam tape.

I added some splatters on the card using the Finetec Gold watercolor and water brush. And then I embellished it with some sequins from my stash.

That’s the card for today’s coffee break… I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have fabulous caffeinated day!!!
