During these strange times, I thought some coffee cards were in check. If you aren’t a coffee drinker, no worries. Pretend this is water, tea, hot chocolate, etc…… LOL! Let’s start with a rainbow background first to brighten your day! This is an alcohol inked background I made in the past. I tend to make loads of backgrounds at one time and keep them on hand for building cards! To see multiple videos I’ve created regarding alcohol ink techniques and backgrounds, click HERE!
A little tinted nuvo glitter accents (I just colored the dried glitter with a black marker) for the “pour” of the coffee really made this card look life like.
This was another background I had laying around so just adding a few elements from the coffee sets I used (linked below) made pulling this card together in a jiffy!
And this sentiment (in Laurel world) is very true!
And finally, another background I had on hand made with embossing paste and a stencil (ions ago I tell you). I just spritzed it with some Nuvo Sparkle Spray for a little more somethin’ something;
A hug in a mug! YES!
This last one I just turned a floral die cut I had colored previously upside down and popped up a coffee mug, tee hee!
