Coffee Time

Hey friends,

Today, I am sharing a card I made for Jane's DT post. I have used one of my favorite stamp set Coffee Time. Lately, I am collecting all the tea & coffee sets. Looks like I got addicted to them...;) .

I stamped and masked and stamped images with archival black ink and colored with peerless water colors. 

Check the hand made mask through which I stamped that mesh background in Delicata gold pigment ink. The best golden ink I have used ever.

Coffee beans were embossed in gold ,colored with instant coffee decoction and fussy cut. I also painted the shadow beneath percolator and saucer with the same liquid. So the card smells good too...:). Actually, wanted to mix instant coffee with clear embossing powder and emboss with it. But the weather is very humid so coffee powder turned in to a lumps while i was mixing it with embossing powder. Have to try with ground beans ...:) 

That is all for today! Have a great day!

Roses all over!

Hi Friends,

I am here to share a card I made using My Favorite things - Background stamp - Roses all over. I wanted this stamp since very long but it was out of stock everywhere. And then I found it on Butterflyreflectionsink.3dcartstores.com while I was placing order for other stuff. I love, love, love their collection - a great mix of products. They keep all the latest releases of major brands and offer discounts quite often.  And super sweet Vanessa & her customer service is a bonus....:) !

So here is the card.

I have embossed the background in gold and colored with mission gold water colors. Sentiment die is by PTI. Both the white panes are mounted on craft foam to give dimension. Added some splatter to tie the whole look.

Close Up:

Hope you like it. Have a great weekend. See you soon with two more cards which I just finished...:)
