Caffeine Crazy Swap

i LOVE coffee...and tea...especially chai...so of course i signed up for this swap...2 spots....i went with the other Stella i colored and i'm very happy with how it turned out...the sentiment is inside and reads "Touch My Coffee and See What Happens!...

Touch my Coffee
Paper: really rust..summer sun..whisper white..homemade dp
Ink: printer..SU markers
Stamp: Stella ~ Touch my Coffee
Accessories: ribbon..buttons

the 2nd card is a revamp of a card i previously posted for a color challenge...i changed the ribbon...and it is interesting (to me) that it seemed to really change the card's look/focus...but hey i could be wrong...i was amp'd on coffee!

Caffeine Problem

Ink: early espresso
Stamps: Coffee Cafe

thx for looking...be safe/be well all!

Stella

i was doing some mock ups for a caffeine crazy swap i'm in @ SCS...and decided the "Stella ~ touch my coffee" digi stamp from Bugaboo would be perfect...and i'd get to practice my coloring skills...or lack there of...lol...and i worked on these cards on "World Card Making Day"...so i feel i really accomplished something!...

Stella ~ Touch my Coffee
Paper: summer sun..lavender lace
Ink: printer..SU markers
Stamps: Stella~touch my coffee..coffee cafe
Accessories: paper flower..ribbon..CB EF D'vine swirls

i ended up doing 2 different color schemes...this is the one i decided not to use for the swap...so i'll post those in a few days...on this one i decided not to use the sentiment that came with this digi...instead i used one that reads "I don't do mornings..until I've had my coffee"...which my oldest dd says is "sooo you!"..i think i might just have to send it to my bff since i miss my morning coffee with her...be safe/be well all

UDI Color Challenge #30

i saw the colors for this color challenge EARLY this morning over on Utah Divas International...i was inspired immediately...early expresso...real red...crumb cake and very vanilla...yummy colors right?

so i hobbled as quick as i could to my craft room...aka the disaster zone...grabbed the papers, ink and the stamp set...and voila!!

Paper: early expresso..real red..crumb cake..very vanilla

Ink: early expresso

Stamps: coffee cafe

Accessories: red ribbon..crimper

i crimped the crumb cake strip...and added the ribbon...edged the vanilla with expresso ink...stamped and layered my image and sentiment...had the little bit of open space left lower corner so i stamped some coffee beans...i have to tell you this came together QUICK!...and i love it!
