Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop!

 

 Spring Blog Hop!  

Remember, the theme is Spring!  Your projects must be newly created and PLEASE, no back linking.  

The hop will run from Friday, February 27th – Friday, March 6th.

Visit Coffee Lovers Cardmakers for more details or click the image above.  

Here is my creation to share in the blog hop:

 

I used white embossing powder stamped on the background and watercolored pastel colors over the top after heat setting the powder.  I did not use watercolor paper (and really should have!!) so now I know for next time! I had pigment ink squares in pastel colors that matched the watercolors I used (yay!) and just love how it turned out!  The quote is adhered with foam tape and small blue half pearls to finish it off.  Enjoy this inspiration and keep the creativity flowing!

Day 6 - Using less supplies

The objective today was to use fewer supplies to create a clean and simple card.  I only have black and brown dye inks so far and therefore used Black Soot distress ink to create the background using a scrap piece of card stock to create the lines.

 

My goal was simple black and white with a hint of the pink sequins for a color pop.  The black square with white ink is backed with foam tape.  

Supplies used (besides basic paper):

• Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot
• White pigment ink squares from Tuesday Morning
• I Heart You stamp set by American Crafts
• Pink Sequins 
• Ad Tech permanent adhesive tape roller
