Coffee


Hello friends! Today I have a grungy, mixed media card to share with you featuring a BRAND NEW digital stamp set from Graciellie Design called, "Coffee is Life."
The coffee sentiment was created by cropping and printing one of Gracie's sentiments at 10% opacity, coloring with a gold gel pen, and adding gold embossing powder over top. After heat setting, I traced over it with my Versamarker pen and added primary bark embossing powder over top.


You could WIN this set for free by entering Gracie's giveaway on her Facebook or Instagram page. 

Supplies and Tools:
  • Coffee Is Life Digital Stamp Set (Graciellie Design)
  • Canson Mixed Media Paper
  • Real Brush Pens (Arteza)
  • Flourish Stencil (Tim Holtz)
  • Brown Jewels (Kat Scrappiness)
  • Gold Gel Pen
  • Versamarker Pen
  • Versamark Watermark Ink 
  • Gold Embossing Powder
  • Primary Bark Embossing Powder (Wow!)
  • These colors of Distress Oxide (Range)

What a fabulous card - I love the slightly grungy, mixed media effect - it's just like coffee granules everywhere! The stencilling adds wonderful texture and interest too. Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week!

Such a great coffee card, Esther! I am having my first cup now and wish mine looked as good as this! Love the flourishes and embossing and how you colored the cup/coffee - brilliant work!
