Coffee Cafe’ for Global Design Project #gdpo92

Being that I have worked at a Cafe’ for years that has it roots in coffee. I just had to have the Coffee Cafe’ stamp set! Let’s just say it was meant to be ? …this set is just full of everything you need to make your own cup of coffee (on a card that is)…

After looking at Steffi Helmschrott amazing card over at Global Design Project.  Then thinking most of the week about how I wanted to recreate it, I decided that the Coffee Cafe’ set would be perfect!!!

 Is this not just the prettiest card ever!  It just draws your eyes in to that jar.  The things I love most about Steffi card

• The hand drawn feel
• Her amazing watercolor
• The simplicity if her card design

Be sure you stop by Global Design Project to see all the awesome cards by the Design Team and those who are playing along!

• Stamping the image in Smoky Slate. I used this color because I wanted the edges to fade a bit as I watercolored. hoping for that hand drawn look.
• After wetting the area inside the cup, I added Tranquil Tide and Daffodil Delight to the cup.
• I set it aside to let this dry. After it was dry. I cut it out using the die cuts. And added the flowers from the Daisy Delight stamp set
• The next step was to work on the background.  Stamping a texture from Timeless Texture stamp set. I added just a little water to the area and then color.  Below you can see the texture the stamp leaves… It is faint but, adds a lot to the card.
• After the background dried I added the straw and other finishing touches

I really love this color combinations!

I have this philosophy about card making. Ant that is that layers makes everything better!! #layersmakeseverycardbetter… So when in doubt add layers!!  It was one of the first things I learned from my amazing friend Brian!!   I love this picture because it shows all the different layers on this card. Not just paper but, stamps and ink as well!

I really have been trying to do better at decorating my envelopes!!!  This envelope got a little love on the front and On the back.  The coffee rings are stamped in Smoky Slate and Daffodil Delight. The I added the little Hi that is in the Coffee Cafe’ stamp set!  On the back flap I added some Designer Series Paper.   Did I mention that this set is available in a bundle which saves you 10%.  Yeppie!!!
