Friends & Lattes

I am forwarning you now, you may want to grab a cup of coffee now because when you are done with this post, you will be wanting a cup! :)

Treehouse Stamps is releasing a set every Friday this month and tonight's release is a coffee set called Friends & Lattes.

This set was perfect for the Limited Supply challenge today which was to make a card using any color of orange and a coffee image! I decided to make a Criss Cross Pocket card. I embossed coffee beans in clear on the Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then sponged on tons of distress inks. I used a coluzzle to cut out my circles and a corner punch to make the scallop edge. The coffee cup is stamped in distress ink and embossed in clear. After coloring it with Prismacolor pencils, I used distress inks again and went wild! lol For the inside, I only inked up the first part of the sentiment and stamped that, added some doodles and once again distressed with distress inks.


I made this card during the week for the sketch192 and color challenge 182 (Monochromatic). Of course that was also the same time my batteries decided to die! Once again I used the Friends & Lattes set from Treehouse. The coffee cups were masked and embossed in black. The coffee beans and Thanks a Latte were stamped in distress ink. Now the fun part, I distressed each piece with distress ink. Only the main image was stamped on white cardstock (not that you can tell now). Used decorative scissors for the mat.

All this posting about coffee has made me want some. Even though it is after 8:30 pm, I think I will go make some coffee and add a scoop of ice cream to it too! YUMMM
