Our February Guest Designer Claire is back with us again!

Hello Coffee Loving Crafters! Today, I am sharing my third card as the guest designer for February. I decided I wanted to make a clean and simple style card using the Kit-tea Stamp Set from Hero Arts!

The first thing I did was cut a piece of Hammermill White 110# paper down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I masked off the bottom of my card using a wide piece of purple tape so I could ink blend a little less than half way up my panel.

Starting at the left corner of the tape line, I blended Worn Lipstick Distress ink in a small area. Then, I blended Spun Sugar Distress Ink over the Worn Lipstick and farther out toward the edges of the panel. When I was happy with my background, I took the two flower stamps from the Kit-tea Stamp set and stamped a few randomly around the inked area in the same ink colors.

I stamped the cat, speech bubble, and seven of the flowers from Kit-tea using a Copic safe ink. To color my images, I used these Copic colors:

Cup: G46, G43, G40, G20
Flowers and Heart: RV25, RV23, RV21
Cat: E15, E13, E11, E00

After coloring my images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I adhered my images to my panel using foam tape. I then used my Nuvo Shimmer pen to add a little sparkle to the middle of the flowers and the heart inside the speech bubble. After the glitter dried, I used Glossy Accents over the same areas.

I hope you have a lovely weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
