Hi, all you coffee-loving fans, I am super excited to be a guest designer for March at Coffee Loving Paper Crafters. You can follow me on Instagram @melissaoeters and find me on Facebook as thecolorqueen.
Today, I am sharing my card featuring stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs. This proper cat gentleman really spoke to me, especially because I always enjoy a coffee and a good book. The cat was colored using Olo Markers.
When I start a project, I often have no idea what direction it will take. I enjoy figuring it out as I go along. While searching through my stash for coffee ring paper, I couldn’t find any, so I decided to create my own using a coffee mug and Distress Oxide Vintage Photo ink. It turned out a bit messy, but it will work.
Choosing patterned paper is always a fun experience. I like to experiment with different options until I find one that feels just right, which usually means my desk is covered in piles of paper. In the end, I chose a design from Newton's Nook Coffee Shop pad.
The sentiment stamped on the coffee paper was too faint, so I decided to stamp it on cardstock instead and then back it with patterned paper. To enhance the card, I added a couple of embellishments, including a shaker cup and a book. The mini shakers contain Cup of Love sprinkles from Kat Scrapiness.
