Java and Butterflies

I finally had time to do some crafting the last few days… so got several cards finished for the 2021 Spring | Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

 

The first features a beautiful glass mug and sentiment from the Artsystamper Shop Coffee Set. I colored the yummy mug of java with alcohol markers and a white gel pen. A strip of vintage lace, brown silk ribbon and a coffee bean border digi (colored with markers, white colored pencil and white gel pen) finish the card.

Supplies: 
·   Digi and Sentiment- The ArtsystamperShop (Coffee Set)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Coffee Beans- Little Blue Button Digi Stamp (Coffee Love) Company no longer in business

My second coffee card features a sweet digi from Gerda Steiner Designs named simply “Mouse with Coffee.”  I decided to keep the colors on the digi pretty low key, so the little mouse is lightly colored with gray alcohol markers, light pink ears and cheeks and just a touch of color on the mug and heart. The sentiment is part of the digi (which is actually a freebie!). So fun!

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Gerda Steiner Designs Free digi (Mouse with Coffee)
·   Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen
·   Cardstock and background paper from my stash
