April Brew of the Month

It's time again for another Fresh Brewed Designs Brew of the Month Challenge. You can get all the challenge and prize details on the FBD challenge blog HERE.

Here's how REAL coffee lovers relax...

Isn't this stamp soooo fun!!!

I'm on the Sketch Design Team, so my card is based on the sketch. I was also inspired by the relaxing bathtub in the photo...and I picked my stamps based on the pic.


The main image is a rubber stamp called Coffee, Take Me Away. Isn't it great!! And the sentiment stamp, which is from the Skinny Minnie's Coffee Break stamp set, delivers the perfect message.  I colored with Copic Markers and added clear glaze pen on the small mug and coffee beans. The towel is  covered with pink flock. Some fun sequin and colored glitter. Ahhhhh....relax!
 


Stamping Tip: The sentiment stamp I used is actually on 2 lines. To stamp the entire sentiment all on 1line, simply mask off the 2nd line of the stamp with a post-it note (or other masking tape) before inking. Then remove the post-it note and stamp the image on your paper. Thoroughly clean off the stamp and repeat the process to ink up and stamp the 2nd line. It's helpful to use a stamp positioner in order to get things lined up nice.

This card is adorable, Lori. That DP is fantastic! Brown with pink or blue is one of my favorite color combos, and you've got all of them! Love that cute "fluffy" towel, and the iridescent sequins look a bit like bubbles. Now, I need to run to Starbucks! ;)
