I’m sharing a fresh and new creation featuring the PERK UP stamp and die combo. My card is a bit of a mixed media creation with the use of ivory acrylic paint, Walnut Stain Distress Oxide, Black acrylic paint spatters, golden paste and coffee grounds…YES…Aromatherapy! WOOO!

Check out the yummy Coffee-licious sets we’re workin’ with!

I used ivory acrylic paint and Distress Oxide on my Gelli Plate then blended it together to create a brown coffee-ish color. I transferred that to a piece of white cardstock then splattered a bit of water onto the page to activate the oxide ink. I then rubbed some gold shimmer paste on the edges and sprinkled a bit of coffee grounds on. Next, I added some splatters of black acrylic paint. To finish off the background, I stamped the coffee cup onto the panel using OVER COFFEE ink from Catherine Pooler.

After finishing up the background, I attached a piece of teal ribbon around the panel. I then stamped the sentiment onto a kraft panel and glued it to my inky background. Next, I attached some polka-dot sheer ribbon and added the square piece to highlight the cup and the coffee pot. The pot and cup were colored with Copics.
