For my design this week I went with a coffee theme card. I love coffee and I have tons of coffee mugs, cups and glasses. I wanted to try something different this week. I took the Newton’s Nook Foliage Stencil and blended several distress inks to create a background strip. I applied a few distress inks to the Hero Arts Coffee Cup Tags stamp to give my coffee cup an ombre look. I die cut the cup and whipped cream topping and copic colored the whip cream top with copic markers.
To finish off my card I die cut borders from the Avery Elle Dotted Borders Die (set) and adhered the stenciled background to the borders and adhered the stenciled borders, coffee cups to an A2 Grout Gray Top Fold card base along with a scattering of some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Debbie challenged us to create a Christmas card with three of the colors in the photo inspiration below. I’ve been under the weather the past few das and now I have a nasty sinus infection geez… I have no energy for anything.
I was in Michael’s a few days ago and ran across this cute little stamp set Merriest by AI (Art Impressions). I love the Girlfriends stamp set they just crack me up. I decided to ink this baby up and color these gals…
You can hear them belting out those Christmas Carols totally off key. You have to admit they are super cute! I hope you like my take on this weeks photo inspiration while your checking me out you should head on over and check out the rest of the Design Team creations.
I’m sorry I didn’t do a breakout this week this girl is trying to feel better.
Have a great week!
