For my card, I used the following Miss Ink products:

 

Big Mugs 

Seasons Greetings Sentiments

Coffee Bean/Stain Stencil

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Now Open

 Happy Saturday!  I'm so glad you decided to stop in to the cafe today.  Grab a hot brew and hear the news...

There's a new stamp shop that's now open!  If you haven't heard...

 ...has opened and offers some super cute, unique stamps and stencils!

My first card features Miss Ink's Brewtiful stamp set - very pretty!  I created the background by first taking watercolor paper and embossing it with a coffee bean embossing folder.  I then took several colors of Distress Ink and applied it to the paper with a watercolor brush.  The speckles were added using Tim Holtz Distress Splatter Brush and Picket White paint.  The images were all copic colored

The next card is using Miss Ink's Java Joe's stamp set - so cute!  I created a background by embossing the bottom half with a stone embossing folder and blended Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink.  For the top portion, I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and stamped houses in a light ink.  The images were all copic colored.

Hope you'll check out Miss Ink Stamps - you'll be so glad you did!
