Coffee...because adulting

It's here!  It's here!  It's the very first day of the Coffee Lovers blog hop and I'm super excited.  Let's jump right in and show you my card.

This card sentiment is so true.  I definitely need coffee to make it through the day being an adult!  

Here are some details about my card.  I used a coffee bean stencil on the kraft layer and used Rich Cocoa glimmer paste from Nuvo.  The watercolored piece under the coffee cup was created using dark brown brusho, gold paint and water.  Once it was dry, I ran it through with a coffee ring embossing folder.  I think it's the Tim Holtz Alterations one by Sizzix that is no longer available.  I'm not sure who made the coffee bean stencil either as there is no markings on it.  I also cut it down with one of the Tim Holtz deckle dies.  I used a larger deckle die to cut down the coffee bean piece.

I used Versamark ink to stamp the coffee cup onton dark brown cardstock.  I sprinkled gold embossing powder over it and melted it with a heat tool.  Next I added a bit of color with Prismacolor colored pencils and a white gel pen.  I fussy cut it out with scissors.  The sentiment comes from the same Freshly Brewed blueprints stamp set (linked below).  I also stamped it with Versamark ink but this time used Hot Chocolate embossing powder from Nuvo.  Then I just started putting the pieces together!

I have a white, top fold, A2 sized card base.  I glued on a dark brown cardstock and then the coffee bean piece.  I added foam tape to the back of the brusho piece and put it in place.  Next I put foam tape on the back of the coffee cup and glued it down.  I went around the edges of the sentiment piece with a brown ink pad, added foam tape and put it down.  And it's a wrap!
