Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello Friends….Esther Asbury here announcing that I’ll be guest designing for you in the month of July! Today I have a fun fish themed card to share with you, so let’s get started….

To begin with I combined two different digital stamps sets from Polkadot Orchard to create my fun “fish in a mug” image. I edited out a couple details from the cup in Swirly Bird Pumpkin and added the fish scene from Sip Happens.

I then printed my image on 140 lb. watercolor paper and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils. I wanted to give the water a “wet look,” so I tapped my Versamark embossing ink over the bottom of my mug and added ultra thick embossing enamel.

For my background I layered and printed some papers from Oohlala Scraps and added a birthday sentiment from Sip Happens.

Some fun mini shells, sea grass, and sandcastle die cuts from Impression Obsession and Cottage Cutz complete this fun summer card!
