This week I decided to join the Global Design Project #267! The theme this week is all about Hot Drinks! And my favourite Hot Drink is coffee!
I began making this card by selecting three ink colors that worked extremely well together. I decided on So Saffron, Rococo Rose, and Petal Pink.
Then I pulled out some coordinating cardstock and designer series paper in the same color pallet. I also pulled out some black and white cardstock because these two basic colors pair well with most (if not all) color combinations.
I began with my card base. I chose Petal Pink Cardstock and cut a piece measuring 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"; I scored it on the long side at 4-1/4".
Next, I created a mat for my card base. I cut a piece of Rococo Rose Cardstock measuring 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" and another piece of Whisper White Cardstock measuring 4" x 5-1/4".
I took the row of coffee cups from the Press On Stamp Set and stamped the image repeatedly onto the Whisper White Cardstock using Petal Pink Ink to create my own Designer Series Paper. I adhered this homemade DSP to the Rococo Rose Cardstock and then glued them both to my card base.
Next, I took a piece of So Saffron Cardstock measuring 3" x 4-1/4" and I tore off two adjoining sides to create a fun rustic effect on my card. I glued a piece of So Saffron spotted DSP from the Subtles Designer Series Paper pack onto the remaining untorn, long edge. I attached this to my card using dimensionals.
I then grabbed my Rococo Rose Dark Stampin' Blend Marker and flicked the brush end on the cap toward my So Saffron Cardstock attached to my card to get the splatter technique you see in the pics.
Once my card base was finished, it was just a matter of decorating it! I stamped two coffee cups onto Whisper White Cardstock and another two onto Petal Pink Designer Series paper. I fussy cut out my coffee cups from the white cardstock and fussy cut out just the sleeves from the DSP. I glued the two together, and added a heart to the sleeve. I placed some Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon on the card base and attached the coffee cups on top using dimensionals to hold the ribbon in place.
Lastly, I stamped my greeting on some Basic Black Cardstock with VersaMark, added some White Stampin' Emboss Powder, and heat set it with my heat tool. I rough cut out the greeting, adhered it to my card using dimensionals and then add a few rhinestones for some bling!
What do you think?! I had so much fun making this card and can't wait to participate again in the next Global Design Project!
