I'm so excited to share my card featuring some of my new Sweet 'n Sassy coffee/tea themed faves!!
To start, I blended several colors of distress oxide onto the slimline card base. I stamped the corners of the card using one of the stamps in the Textured Tiles #9 stamp set and then added one of the sentiments from the Coffee Talk set to the base.
I LOVE THESE CUPS from the I Like Big Cups set!! They are big, bold and absolutely perfect for paper piecing which is one of my favorite techniques! I used pattern papers from Carta Bella Home Again 6x6 pad which are beautiful designs. To finish, I added these cute Kat Scrappiness Coffee Bean embellishments.
I really do love my coffee...it's like a rainbow in a cup!
For my next card, I created a watercolor rainbow background with distressed oxide inks. I stamped the coffee stain images using one of the stamps from the Texture Tiles #9 set then stamped, cut and colored these super cute cups from the Coffee Talk set. To finish, I stamped one of the fun sentiments from the Coffee Talk set.
