doily stencil | Honey Bee Lane

Hi! I’m here with another card for the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

To start this card, I printed this free stacked cups image from here at Beyond the Fringes Crafts. 🙂

Here’s my card. I fussy cut the image and then masked off every other cup and stenciled a chevron pattern on some and dots on others. I used a couple of ARTplorations stencils, Chevron Crazy and Dots All Over.

I decided to cut the cups apart and stack them individually with foam tape. I created the background by sponging red ink through a paper doily onto white cardstock.

I die cut the sentiment using CUTplorations word die “hugs”.

Hi! I’m here with a card for the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

First, I drew the cup.
Then I fussy cut it out.

I created the background by sponging green ink through a paper doily.

I added some cream (acrylic paint) to the top of my hot chocolate. (I’m not a coffee drinker. 😉 )

I added some silver ink to the rim and handle of the cup.

I traced the cup image onto some copy/printer paper, created a mask and then sponged on the silvery-gray shadow to the left of the cup onto the white background. Thanks for stopping by!
