Simply Coffee

This is my second card inspired by Natasha's Clean&Simple Fall-to Layout #41 (my first card is here). This is one of my favorite sketches! I changed it ever so slightly, but it is still essentially her design. Keeping with the coffee theme, I ran a piece of Kraft cardstock through my paper crimper and made a sleeve for my card. It makes a band that goes all the way around the front flap of the card. I didn't attach it - so it can slide off, completing the coffee cup "statement". Since I still don't have any Copic markers, I used a technique I've seen Kristina Werner use in several of her videos with dye ink and a Dove blender to shade the inside of the rectangular border around the cups.

I stamped the red cup, cut it out, coated it in Versamark, and then covered it with Glassy Glaze enamel to give it a shine.

Stamps:  Three Coffee Cups (A Muse Artstamps), Tiny Wise Words (Wordsworth)

Ink:  Chocolate Chip (SU!), Red (Technique Tuesday Hybrid), Tempting Turquoise (SU!)
