Coffee Couple ~ Preview Day 3 ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

It's the final day of previews at The Greeting Farm! Today we have a super cute couple with a coffee theme. So excited for this set!

Need Coffee? YES! Always should be the answer! LOL! I thought it would be fun to create a background with the sentiment so I stamped it several times. And then I ink smooshed the panel with Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Ink. I was pleasantly surprised that the sentiments didn't bleed. Phew. I'm thinking it was because the sentiments had set overnight to dry, but it could also be that I didn't use a lot of water to thin out the ink. Either way... I'm happy with how it turned out. The coffee rings in the background are from my mug that actually had tea in it at the time. Heehee... I just placed my mug in the inky puddle of Ground Espresso ink and then 'stamped' the panel with it. I added a few spatters to the inky background using the rest of the Ground Espresso ink on my table.

I stamped the adorable Ian with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him up with Copic markers. I'm pushing myself to use other markers. I tend to grab the same ones over and over. Not for this card! 

 Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E04

Hair: Y21, E42, E43, E44

Jacket: B91, B95, B97, B99

Hoodie: G82, G17, G29

Yellow T-shirt: Y11, Y15, Y17

Khakis: E30, E33

Shoes: N0, N2, N4

Cup: C00, C2, RV10, RV11, RV04, YR21, YR15

I trimmed the panel and adhered it to a dark brown card base. Fussy cut Ian and colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I added a bit of white gel pen to the eyes. And then I added foam tape to the back of Ian and to the extra sentiment that I had stamped and trimmed.

I popped them up on the card and finished it off with a few brown enamel dots. So fun! The release goes live in the store on the 15th at 12am EST... that's tomorrow! Woohoo!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
