Melissa, our March Guest is back with us. Please make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the post for her project look back!
Hello coffee lovers! Melissa here again, and this is my last post as the guest designer for March. I’ve been crafting for most of my life, and my favorite activities include coloring with pencils or markers, as well as creating die-cut embellishments for cards and other paper crafts. You can follow me on Instagram @melissaoeters and find me on Facebook as theccolorqueen.
My project today features a digital tag image from STAMPlorations. This was a bonus tag set from one of the other digital images I purchased. It was a full-page 8 1/2 x 11 with five individual images – a great deal.
This was a quick project because I knew I wanted to use color pencils. I printed the image on Neenah Bright White and grabbed my pencils.

Once I had my coloring done I chose the cardstock colors: black, pink, and purple. I used Whimsy Stamps die set to cut my layers. For the sentiment, I used Clearly Besotted, “Laugh Out Loud Coffee” stamp collection. I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock using Tsukineko Versa Fine Clair Nocturne and mounted it on purple cardstock.
Honestly, I do run on coffee and sarcasm!
We have really enjoyed having Melissa as our Guest this month! Here’s a look back at all of her amazing projects:
