PCC285 Color Challenge - Coffee Because Adulting is Hard!

I've had a heck of a couple of days at work.  Today I was finally introduced to my new boss and 5 co-workers were fired all in the same day.  I really didn't have a lot of inspiration tonight to make a card for my Design Team project for Paper Craft Crew but somehow I pulled it together..  Here are the colors for the challenge.  You can pick 3 of these if you'd like to enter this week!

So my inspiration came from what else.. coffee!  I love coffee and today adulating really did seem hard so this is what I came up with.

The coffee cups were from a Gina Marie Coffee Stamp Set.  The Coffee Die and the Adulting is Hard Sentiment are both from Cas-ual Fridays Coffee Cup Fri-dies and Coffee Talk Stamp Set

The water coloring was done with Distress Inks at first.. Mustard Seed, Peacock Feathers and Dusty Concord.  I made the shadows with Zig Clean Color Markers and then darkened up the purple and turquoise with them as well.  

Thanks for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

PCC275 Sketch Challenge by Crystal with Cas-ual Fridays Coffee Talk

Hello and Happy Hump Day!  We have made it half way so that's a Yay!  Hope your week has been fabulous so far!  I'm over with my friends at the Paper Craft Crew this week and we have a super cute sketch challenge brought to us by Crystal Komara!

I love cards that have angled layers!  I knew I wanted to make a coffee themed card.  My good friend and former co-worker, Joey Alarid is moving to California and I am making him some cards for him to take with him.   He has been my coffee-drinking buddy for a little over a year now.  His office was right across from mine and we bonded over our love for coffee and Starbucks in particular.  Joey also loves funny cards so I'm sure he will love this one made with some new Cas-ual Fridays Coffee Talk Stamp Set and Coffee Cup Fri-dies.  

I hope you love it as much as I do.!  I think it's so super cute!   My Cardstock base was 110# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and other cardstock used was Stampin' Up! Early Espresso, Basic Gray and Soft Sky.  The fabulous Designer Series Paper is Stampin' Up! Coffee Break.  I added a little Natural Twine around the cup handle and a few flicks of FSJ Dark Roast Silk to finish this off.  The stamp that I used on the die-cut cup is also from Cas-ual Friday Stamps and is called Cup of Coffee.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
