Coffee Card using Unity and Picket Fence

Wanting to participate in the blog hop going on over at Coffee Loving Papercrafters, I pulled out the Picket Fence Need More Caffeine stamp. I stamped it using Antique Linen Distress ink onto watercolor paper. After watercoloring it using Daniel Smith paints, I die cut it and started to look for sentiments and backgrounds.

First, I found an embossing folder by Tim Holtz that I decided to try. I ran Gathered Twigs oxide ink pad over the folder, wet down a piece of Kraft cardstock, and embossed the image. I die cut it down and darkened the edges.

I then turned to a sentiment and found the perfect one in Unity’s One Sip at a Time kit. I stamped that using brown Versafine ink on Kraft paper and die cut it out. Finally, I went on a search for background paper and found a My Mind’s Eye sheet that to me looked like a tablecloth! So, not settling for just the paper, I decided to use Unity’s Beautiful Elements Kit and stamped some coffee stains on it.

I pulled the card together using crystals, eyelash string and a small wooden coffee cup. Enough for today, happy crafting till next time!
