Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - Love Affair w/Coffee {Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps}

Hello friends!

I'm back with another card to share with you

for the SPRING COFFEE LOVER'S  BLOG HOP.

This card is a tribute to my love affair with coffee 

I pulled out my mini distress ink pads and started

sponging the base panel.  I mixed and matched two

oranges, a peach and a red to get this blend of bright

yet warm colors (that's how I feel about coffee a bright

and warm start to my day - hehehe).  Then I embossed

the sentiment and go cups.  I left the space around the

sentiment a little wet and when poured the embossing powder

on the panel it smudged.  At first I was horrified that I had

ruined it and then I decided that I loved it because it looks

like coffee grounds.  What's that saying "a happy accident"

or something like that  :o).  I then added a few of the coffee 

beans around the panel and as a last touch decided to 

splash a few drops of water on there for a bit more 

effect.  I'm really happy with how it turned out and 

it was fun to get inky with this one.  

The stamps are all from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Sentiment: "Love Story Sentiments"

Coffee cups and beans: "One Cup at A Time"
