Thinking of you Card

Hello,

Thank you for joining me for today's post, I will be sharing this vibrant card using a new Stencil and awesome chipboard designs from Southern Ridge Trading Company.

So lets get started! I first inked a piece of watercolour paper using Distress inks and a blender foam in Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn. I placed the Fence Pattern Stencil over the inked surface and spritzed lightly with water. I allowed it to soak in for around 30 seconds and then removed the stencil and quickly dried it with a heat tool. I was wanting a light effect, if you want it bolder - spritz with more water. 

I tore the edges of the watercolour paper and inked the perimeter with Black Soot. I then embossed all my chipboard embellishments with Black Embossing Powder. I also heat embossed my sentiment using the black Embossing powder.

I added my silhouette Flowers to the card front and tucked in pieces from the Honeycomb Pattern under the torn edges. I love the dimension this gives the card!

Coffee is the Way to my Heart!

Hello All!

Happy August 1st & Welcome back to the blog! For todays post, I will be sharing a card about one of my favourite things........Coffee! I love it and need it to function! 

When I saw these Paper Coffee Cups, I purchase two packages! I have a Tim Hortons gift cards inside this card to be given to a special friend - she is a fellow addicted coffee drinker! 

For the card background, I used the Intersecting Circles Stencil in 6x6 size (also available in 3x3 and 12x12) with Texture Paste tinted with Distress Ink in Ground Espresso. 

I matted the Coffee Pattern Paper with Black cardstock and distressed the edges. I painted the medium sized Paper Coffee Cup and the Vintage Clock with Distress Paint. I added the burlap and the Coffee/Java Circle to the Chipboard Cup.

I adhered the arrow "THE WAY TO MY HEART" to the card front and coloured with a Stardust pen. For a finishing touch I added coffee beans with a glue gun and tucked burlap in to the base of my card.
