Mr Cardmaker Has a Two-fer Fer For (Fer?) Coffee Lover's Blog Hop
Back with TWO more cards!
I'm STILL making and playing along with the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. This is my second post for today, and I have to say, I am awfully geeked about these two cards.
I made these--
Are these CUTE, or what?
So, in my last card, I stamped and die cut a huge amount of these cups from Lawn Fawn's Love You a Latte set, and I had these four left over.
I hate to waste stuff. I do.
I had been running across this teeny stamp set called A Little Sparkle from Lawn Fawn in my stash.
I found the oh-so-tiny fairies to be just adorable, and while I was contemplating what to do with these cups, I got the idea to see if they might fit on the sleeve portion of this stamp...
They fit! I got them to fit on these little spaces, and managed to get some twinklie thing in there, too..
I think they remind me subtly of the Starbucks mermaid....
I think the hard part was getting just the tipity tip of my copic markers in there to give them some color!
So, I made two four-bar card bases, and stenciled them with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink over two Tim Holtz Stencils. Super fast and easy!
I mounted the cups on foam tape and added them, and then stamped more twinklie star thingys above the cups, hoping they'd read like steam rising from the hot coffee.
Lastly, I stamped my sentiment, which comes from Cathy Zeilske of CZ Design. I thought it was perfect for right here.
I really love the way they turned out.
I hope you like them, too.
Stop by at the blog hop! So much to see!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
All Best-
Richard

ReplyDeleteto color them with Copics. Great job!
I'm really loving that background technique with the POP of color. The teal/turquoise is awesome. Another wonderful idea. I look forward to seeing more.
