It's a Coffee Date!

Hello and welcome to Monday Peeps! It's a President's Day Holiday here in the USA, so kids don't have School!  Yeay for this Mama!  That means less running around today! :) 

 
COFFEE DATE CARD RECIPE
Stamps:  Stampendous!  House-Mouse Designs Cling Stamp called "Java Jumpers" featuring Monica and Muzzy.  The "Coffee Date" sentiment circle is a Hero Arts mini-stamp by Clearly Kelly.
Ink:  Copics, Ginger, Caramel and Adirondack Brown DYE Inks
Paper: Shimmer Dark Brown CS, White CS, Bazziil textured Brown CS 
Techniques: Dry Embossing, Layering
Accessories: Spellbinders Renaissance Stacey Caron Design Cutting Dies, Half-Circle Dies, Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Coffee themed Dry Embossing Folder, Circle Punch and Brown Satin Ribbon.

I needed a card to invite a sweet friend out for Coffee - so this was the perfect time to use this adorable mousey stamp! The Coloring took me the longest. (not my thing so I'm glad it's done) Looking back, the coffee beans should have been a slightly different color than the mice -  don't ya think? LOL :)

  1. Hello America: I'm a coffee drinker and this image is right up my alley. I have some address labels with this image too.
    Fabulous coloring, the rich brown of your die cut and bow compliments this sweet image to perfection.
    I'm so thrilled to be one of the Guest Designers for the HMFMC, it's been such a joy and loads of fun.
    Thank you for having me.
    Big mousie hugs.

    Maria Rodriguez.

  5. Must get this image...Love the brown die-cut frame, it looks so rich against the white background your coloring and layout is beautiful. Didn't realize there were so many mouse stamps until I started doing some copic classes...it was fun being a Guest Designer and I will be back as an entrant as well.

  12. I love coffee and this card is so much fun. Who cares about the color of the coffee beans, they are probably blonde roast beans 😉
