Coffee culture. There's no avoiding it. Whether you're a fan of the black stuff or can't stand the taste of it, we all almost certainly known someone who's a coffee fan. Personally it's far too bitter for my sweet tooth, but I love the smell of it, and of course the scientist in me loves the whole science of coffee making.
I love how this turned out! Pretty cool, right?!
I started by stamping the sentiment part of the design using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I added my ticks using the same ink but also tapping my stamp into the Versafine Clair Ink in the colour Twilight for a bit more of an 'inky' pen look!
I wanted the card to resemble a 'close-up' of the cup, or at least it being seen from a side angle, so I stamped the circle partially off the edge of my card for a fun detail!
I wanted to show how easy it is to create the look of a coffee cup without needing any dies. So I trimmed a few strips of black cardstock, adhered them together to resemble a lid, then adhered that to the top of my base to finish off the look! There's a lot of white space between the sentiment and the 'lid' because it's a large cup. *smile*
I'd love to hear what you think of this card. Is there someone you know who'd love to receive it? Thanks for stopping by!
Taheerah! Such a fun COFFEE Projects! I'm going to share it in the Coffee Loving Papercrafters FB group!
