But I couldn't miss out on playing along with the fabulous Amy Tsurata's Coffee Lover's Blog Hop! So I'm popping in with a quick creation.
Snicker - to make this fun creation I started with a layer of gelatos scribbled on the background.
Then I smudged the gelatos with my finger, added a layer of stenciled embossing paste (I did a cool tutorial yesterday if you want to learn more about stenciling) and drizzled with Distress Spray Stain to messy it up a little bit.
My card was totally inspired by the latest Fusion challenge with those pretty colors and beautiful coffee cups! I'm also linking up to the Seize the Birthday challenge - with the toppings to use a die cut (my center panel is a die cut from Winnie and Walter!)
I stamped a sentiment from the arsty Sketchy Coffee Cup stamp set and my very own Literary Caffeine-ations set.
Then I wrapped the sentiment in twine and put it all together. I just love the snarky sentiment!
>>GIVEAWAY ALERT<<
