Second post for today and this time it's for the challenge at the ATCAS Blog. The codeword for the challenge is 'Coffee' and I first I thought I would have to skip this challenge 'cause I don't have any stamps or dies that has anything to do with coffee.
Well, I came up with a plan to be able to take part in the fun of making a 'coffee-card'!!
Here's my card:
I took a piece of white cardstock and made my own coffee stained paper to use!
I adhered some drywall tape to a piece of white cardstock and painted it with some water. I then sprinkled some coffee grannuals onto the wet surface and dried it with my heatgun. I removed the drywall tape and I had a lovely piece of coffee stained paper to use for my card!
I've cut a 'Leaf-filled Flourish', from MFT, from my stained paper and from a piece of black cardstock. Adhered both die-cuts onto my card front and stamped a sentiment from the 'Lean on Me' stamp set by Verve, onto the card. (for my sentiment I was thinking coffee and friends go together!!!)
Finished it all off with some black rhinestones.
I have made another card with the negative of the die cut to show you what the piece of stained cardstock looked like.
This card has a lovely smell!!! LOL!!
Think I need a cuppa now!!!
Have a super day!!
Kind regards
Petra
