Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Monday is here again.  Hopefully you had a delightful Easter if you celebrate and a delightful weekend if not.  Hopefully this new week brings you more to look forward to.  I have a fun french inspired card for you today.

This card was fun to make.  I tend to like larger images but these delicate images from Hero Arts Parisian Style Collection- French Treats were very fun to work with.  They offer something small and sophisticated.  For this card I stamped the images on Kraft paper and colored them using Prismacolor pencils. I blended the colors and used a white pen to add highlights.  I added the sentiment and then die cut it out using a MFT oval die.  I wanted to pull out the colors a bit more and so I die cut some larger ovals in cardstock and DP to accent the center image.  I set that aside and pulled out a slightly darker brown cardstock and made a gatefold card.  I stamped the sentiment across the front of the card and then placed my center image on top.

Below you can see another shot with the gatefold slightly open.

I don’t have a picture of it here, but inside there is a slice of cake, also colored to reinforce the repeating sentiment that, “I’m sweet on you.”

Thanks for your visit today.  You are always welcome to visit me on my blog- KBStamps.

May your coffee be strong and your Monday be short!  😉  ~Au revoir
