I love stamps with mugs on and this set from Sunny Studio called Mug Hugs is one of my favourites - I really must see though if they do matching dies - it would make life a lot easier.
The challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday was to make a slimline card - these are all the rage and I'm normally one that if it's popular I don't join in lol! But I thought I'd have a go and use the mugs. I was delighted to be lucky enough to win the $25 voucher last week which gave me the chance to purchase with the shipping costs and now added tax costs (thanks to Brexit!!! don't get me started lol) covered by the $25. So much to choose from on that website!
I stamped the clear stamps with Ranger Archival ink and used Distress Inks Vintage Photo and Festive Berries and a paint brush to give the soft watercolour feel. I did some doodling on the mugs to add a bit of interest as they come plain. I used a SU blending pen in Light Grey for the cream foam and the sugar cubes and added some Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.
I used Distress Oxide Frayed Burlap and Distress Ink Festive Berries for the background. I used a TH stencil in what looks like coffee stains and a baby wipe for the resist technique to remove some of the ink. The bottom panel is some washi tape I had which fits perfectly. I layered it onto some Neenah Desert Storm Kraft card stock.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
LilRed Wagon - Hot Drinks
As You Like It - favourite stamp medium - I prefer to work with clear cling stamps as it's easier to see where you are stamping and easier to fix if you make a mistake. I have so many wooden stamps now not being shown any love since clear stamps came out.
Simon Says Stamp Monday - Resist
Audsentiments - Anything goes plus a sentiment
Cardzforgals - Pink and Brown
Path of Positivity - Celebrate those you love - my card will be winging its way to a dear friend who I haven't been able to catch up with for a coffee and a natter because of Covid. We can't wait until we can be together again and in the meantime I hope she likes her card.
