Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Good Morning Coffee Loving Cardmakers! It’s Kerry here and I’m back with another fun Sunday Sip!  This week I pulled out some canvas and started watercoloring.  I wanted a nice bright aqua sky against the sunshine of the morning…and a cuppa joe for a wake-up ritual!

To create my card, I pulled a favorite stamp set from my stash.  Sweet n’ Sassy’s “Fill Me Up” clear stamp set.  I cut a small piece of canvas that was already treated with gesso and then applied some aqua watercolor over it.  I used a paint brush to blend the color and flicked some on to finish it off.  Next, I machine stitched the canvas onto a piece of white cardstock to make it a bit more sturdy and then I stamped the sentiment and the steam onto the panel. After that, I flicked a bit of black ink and sparkle ink onto the inky panel.

A close-up of the canvas reveals that deelish watercolor effect.  I frayed the edges of the canvas to give it a more finished look.

Stamping the cup on some bright pink/purple cardstock really made this card pop!  I pulled that same color into the ink on the card base too.  The final touch was to brush a bit of white acrylic paint over the card base panel to help tie the artsy bits together.

Thanks for hopping over to check out my card.  I hope you have a fabulous week!  See you next Sunday.
