Inky Paws Challenge #196 - Birthday Theme

Changing things up today with a coffee birthday card!

I don't know about  you but I just about live off of coffee... LOL! I love my coffee and I have several friends who enjoy coffee too. So, I was thinking it was time to ink up the adorable Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set and add a coffee themed birthday card to my stash. Now I don't have the coordinating Newton Loves Coffee Die Set in my stash so I had to fussy cut the kitty. But the dies are on my wishlist!! Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color up the sweet kitty:

Kitty ~ W00, W1, W3, W5, RV10, RV13

Cup ~ C00, C1, Y11, Y06, Y18, BG000, BG11, BG32, BG72, YG11, YG03

Ground ~ YG11, YG03

To create my background I ink blended Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks over the awesome Mugs Stencil. Love this combo together! I trimmed the panel to 4 x 5-1/4" and used the second largest circle die from the Circle Frames Die Set to make my peek a boo opening for the kitty.

I die cut a white banner using the smallest banner die from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I stamped the sentiment on the banner. And then I die cut a piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock using the stitched banner die from the same set. I adhered the layers together and trimmed the left edge leaving room to add the little coffee beans that I stamped with the oxides, fussy cut and adhered by the sentiment.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project with a Birthday theme. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
