Coffee Card Number 2

Wasn’t going to make a coffee card today in support of the blog hop, but I received my Christmas/birthday present early... yowser, it’s a 36 half pan Schmincke watercolor set! For the small quick paintings I do, the tubes were too cumbersome, however, I wanted a pro set! And, boy, did they deliver! Love them! Hope I can learn to do them justice!

Anyway, I had already stamped out with Distress Antique Linen, the tea cup from the the lovely Unity set, Tea Cup Floret. I decided I wanted to use this card as either a birthday card or thank you card, so I wanted the colors to be bright. I looked around my paper stash and happened upon a My Mind’s Eye pad, called Splendor. I tried to match the colors as best I could with a new set and began painting. Once finished, I fussy cut the tea cup out.

To pull the card together I die cut 2 sheets from the pad, stamped the sentiment on another sheet from the pad and cut that down. I raised the tea cup with foam tape, added the sentiment and crystals and called it done. Lately, I’ve been adding spatters to the image, but I think it turned out okay as is. (Let me know if you think I should go back and add white spatters.)

That’s a wrap for today! Happy crafting till next time!
