Recently I received an order of products and among the items I bought were two stencils from MFT. Immediately I got out some distress inks and began to play and when I finished this piece I decided it had the look of the psychedelic 1960's. Actually I had another card in mind to use this background paper, and not for this blog hop, but then when looking at my growing "coffee" collection I chose these two cups. After trimming the piece I stamped and heat embossed the cups and the sentiment. One of my favorite color combinations is orange and turquoise so I selected SU! pumpkin pie cs to add a little more pop and then attached to white cs.
Many of you are too young to know or remember the 60's but it was wild and crazy time and although I am in the age group my husband and I remained straight-laced (he was an aerospace engineer). Having said that I did wear a mini dress at my wedding and white fish net stockings. Wow that was 49 years ago next month.
I like my psychedelic coffee card and hope you do too.
