Relax with a book and a cuppa - Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Spring/Summer 2020

Nothing screams relax like a good book and a steaming coffee and that is my inspiration for today's make.

This is an entry for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Spring/Summer 2020. Full details are available here.

I was rapidly running out of inspiration and was.getting board of takeaway coffee mugs. So I thought about what a steaming brew means to me and my idea was born.

A full video tutorial is available on my YouTube channel  Mrs H's Crafty Corner

What I used

A6 Pre Scored Card Base in cream

1 Piece of White Card

Black Ink Pad

Stamp Press

The Next Chapter Stamp and Die Set from Papercrafting Essential Magazine Issue 183

Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers

Foam Squares

Patterened Paper from Marbled Paper Pad by The Works

Glossy Accents 

Instructions

Cut a piece of patterned paper to 10cm by 14cm and stick to the card base 

Using the stamps from the set I stamped a scene and coloured using Tri-blend markers. 

The cat was stamped and die cut out. He was stuck down using foam squares

I then stamped and fussy cut a coffee mug which was again stuck using foam squares

The fluid in the mug was finished with glossy accents.

Thanks for reading
