Hi! I’m here with a card for the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!!!
To start, I printed a free stacked cups image from Beyond the Fringes Crafts. ๐ Thanks for the free digi, Carmen!
I also printed the image onto removable mailing label and cardstock, then I fussy cut the images out. I also created a mask and then sponged on the silvery-gray shadow of the cups onto the background, to the left of the cups.
Here’s a closer look at the “shadow” that I sponged on:
Iย fussy cut the sticky cups apart and then sponged on different Christmassy colors. Then, to add some rigidity, I restacked the sticker cups onto the cardstock stack of cups. I made the curls by stamping and heat embossing with my prize stamp from the Fall CLBH!
I love this gorgeous background STAMP!
I added gold to some of the swirls with a glass pen. I stamped the curly-swirly, steamy background with the JVD Curls background stamp too.
Thanks, Jillian! I love this stamp and have designed 2 more cards for the Winter CLBH with it.
I designed my own “stacked” sentiment (see the bottom right below) and printed it onto vellum.
You are welcome to print some of these for your own use. ๐Thanks for stopping by!
Grace, Peace & Merry Christmas,
Melissa
