Hello stampers! Today's card is a special one for my brother's birthday. He said he always looks forward to his birthday card from me every year, and I really tried to incorporate some of the things he loves. He loves his coffee and he also loves shades of blue and teal. The challenge from Tic Tac Toe #275 fit into his card perfectly. I used the middle down portion of circles/blue/birthday.
I started off by ink blending my background with Secret Sea, Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, and Coastal Cabana. I die cut the same size piece of white with my Split Textures die, stamped it with some of the coffee stains and splatters from the Latte Love set, and layered it on top of the blended background. After that I set to stamping the coffee cups on a scrap of white. I stamped each one in the either Secret Sea or Blueberry Bushel and then colored them with the coordinating color blends markers.
I cut the coffee cups out and arranged them on the diagonal along the line if the background die cut. I tucked in a few leafy branches and flowers cut from Country Flowers die behind the cups. I cut a couple leaf bunches in Coastal Cabana and a couple in white. I brushed the white ones with Coastal Cabana ink. I brushed the larger flowers with Blueberry Bushel ink and the small ones with Secret Sea. The sentiment is from an old set called Happy Hour. I embossed it in white on Azure Afternoon cardstock and then cut it with a die cut from Something Fancy. A little linen thread bow and some Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems finished off the card.
