Some of my favorite things are autumn/fall and coffee... so I love trying to get a project together to share on the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, which is happening right now (until Friday)! This is a huge blog hop where anyone can link up their projects to share with other coffee loving, card making enthusiasts! It features hundreds of entries and lots of prizes, too!
With any luck, I'll get another card finished for the hop this week too... but for now, here's a simple card featuring coffee colors, an adorable wooden coffee embellishment, a hint of shimmer and lots of thankfulness (from this fabulous lace leaf stamp set by Concord & 9th). The coffee spill effect on my central point was created with the splatter/shadow type leaf shape from the set, inked with two colors of Distress Ink and misted with water. It's kinda a funky shape thats fun to use behind the sentiment instead of behind the lace leaf that it was designed for!
I used a shimmery silver embossing powder over brown ink and it ended up somewhat translucent
on the text and the little heart on the coffee cup. I decided to play up that shimmer and use silver glitter paper, bling and some brown crinkle ribbon to complete the card.
For a neutral colored card, there's actually quite a bit of shimmer going on!
The background of my card was simply stamped, repeating the sentiment in a staggered fashion in two different shades of brown Distress Oxide Ink. I added a few hearts to fill in open spaces and then inked over it all, going darker from the edges in, with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Just a few of my favorite things on a simple card... hope you like it!
Inky hugs,
Tara

I love the dirty look to this, and the seam binding matches perfectly!
Fabulous card.
