Thank You Coffee


Welcome to the Coffee Lovers Hop!

If you are new to the hop, like me, all you have to do is play along by creating any coffee-themed project, post it on your blog and then link it up at the linky found on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog where you will also find details of all the sponsors providing the fabulous prizes!


STAMPlorations is one of the super sponsor of the Coffee Lovers Hop, find Shery's post here where she also has additional prizes to give and if you haven't got any coffee themed stamp, STAMPLorations has made a free image available to use in your entry!

It was high time I joined the hop since I am very much a fan of the strong stuff... yes don't make mine white or too sweet! Espresso rules!



I love that image from STAMPlorations, Thank You Coffee and I think it is one that lends itself well to pencil colouring. I used metallic pencils on black card in this one I did last year and was wowed by the results.

Here I used a more natural colour scheme on more subtle Kraft cardstock but I still think it's very striking.

I spend a blissful moment refining the 3D look of the cup and I could have carried on...

Once finished I added the sentiment from the same set stamping in brown ink and embossing with clear holographic powder. Lovely shine...

I couldn't bring myself to add anything else, not even matting or rounding corners as I felt it would distract from this delicate cup and flower. 

Over to you... time to create some Coffee inspired art and don't forget to check the STAMPloration blog!

Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Addicted to stampsCaffeine Fueled Paper Play
 
and Paperbabe challenges.

  20. J'adore, c'est super délicat l'effet obtenu par ta colorisation aux crayons de couleur, et tes ombrages pour une tasse posée comme en 3D est saisissant !! Celle sur papier noir était déjà géniale, mais celle-ci l'est tout autant.. Bravo Christine, tes cartes sont toujours très inspirées, c'est la classe !! :D
