Brew-tiful!

Hello to all you coffee-loving fans! I'm excited to be the guest designer for March at the Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Blog. You can follow me on Instagram @melissaoeters and find me on Facebook as thecolorqueen.

I started by die-cutting out the mug and the eyes, eyelids, and lashes. This die set is from Pixi Dust Designs.  I decided pink was my color of choice for this project.  I like the biggest set of eyes and found the coordinating pieces to make flirty eyes.

Next, I used Distress Ink in Festive Berries to darken the eyelids and create a darker edge around the mug. I die-cut the coffee, lips, and the mug handle, but then decided I wanted the handle to be the same color as the mug.

Once the mug face was completed, I moved on to create the card base.

I used leftover scrap papers from Photo Play's "Snowball Fight" and Simple Stories' "Sunkissed," along with black, white, and pink cardstock. The sentiment stamp from My Favorite Things’ "Coffee and Conversation" stamp set felt like a perfect match for this fun mug face.

Wishing you a brew-tiful day!
