I began this card by stamping and heat embossing the mug and the palm tree stamps and then coloring with Copics. Last night prior to going to bed I played with one of my favorite techniques embossing folder, ink and water but I was not crazy with the three looks I made. So this morning I got up way too early to work on the card and decided to use my "go to" look of trimming the background paper and matting. It amazes me how often I use this look but it is a great way to use handmade background paper and once the paper is trimmed it looks so much better - kinda like when you really need a haircut. I inked and embossed the sentiment and popped up the mug and lastly added wink of stella to the palm tree. To make this card I used products from four different companies (not counting paper, ink etc.).
Stamps - PTI "Latte Love" (sentiment)
Stamplorations "After Coffee" (cup)
Paper Smooches "Summer Lovin" (palm tree)
Embossing Folder - Sizzix "Coffee Beans"
Paper - Neenah, SU! Kraft
Other - Copics, VersaMark, embossing powder, wink of stella
Oh yes!! Love the palm tree coffee cup and that sentiment!!
