Any how for this card I used Club scrap and Quick Quote scraps.  I used the Bugaboo image called Violet teacup... Yea I know they aren't colored violet but that wouldn't of worked with the colors I wanted for my card.  I colored the image with copics and went over the flowers with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.

Brewin' up Birthday Wishes - Day 5

Tuesday May 29, 2018

 

It's Day 5 of the Spring + Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop

So looking around my desk I saw this striped paper scrap from Quick Quotes and some gray. I then remembered I had some pre scored light gray cards so I chose those three.. I then went to look at my scraps and found this Pink Fresh designer paper. I stamped the Simon Says coffee cup and then stamped the coffee part on a piece of Kraft and fussy cut it out and the coffee cup. I then went over the coffee piece with Versa mark which made it darker. I adhered this to the coffee cup. I found a piece of Quick Quote scrap red dotted paper so added this under the cup and added a Stampin Up leaf die cut from some scraps. I added some steam with Versa Mark. I then heat embossed the Reverse Confetti sentiment.  Fussy cutting images really makes me appreciate using dies.. But this was quite simple to cut out.. just handle area was a little tricky.
