Joy in a Cup

Hi there,

today I am part of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop for STAMPlorations and this is my creation:

• stamp the coffee cup, bag and donut from the STAMPlorations Coffee Petites set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black - use the masking technique
• leave the masks on and stamp the present from the STAMPlorations Hello Christmas set
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers
• add highlights with a white gel pen
• create a background with Distress Ink (Salvaged Patina, Pumice Stone) and a Blending Brush
• for extra-texture in the background apply some more Distress Ink Salvaged Patina through the ARTplorations Oh my Stars! mini stencil 
• add the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Just Caffeinate sticker set
• add strips of black cardstock and patterned paper from the BoBunny Candy Cane Lane 6x6 paper pad to the top and bottom of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

As a super sponsor STAMPlorations is offering a $25 prize code +  2 flash prizes: $10 prize code and the choice of any 2 coffee-themed paper goods.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Hugs,
