I share this cards at Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog. My cards today, I created using the Brewtiful Stamp Set and Sunburst Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps.

I sprayed the stencil lightly with Pixie Spray and put it on top of a piece of watercolor paper. I added the Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Ink used blending brush. And then I removed it from the watercolor paper.

There were still some inks on the stencil, I sprayed with some water and then I added it on top of another watercolor paper. I added paper towel on top of the stencil, gently pushed it on the paper. This technique also called stamping with stencil. Super easy way to create a distressed watercolor background.

I dried the watercolor background with craft heater and then I cut out both background panels with Divinity Designs – Pierced Rectangles Dies and Craftin Desert Divas – Fancy Frame Dies (sadly they closed their store…).

I added both background panels on the white cards with Scrapbook Adhesives E-Z Runner Grand.

The stamped imaged and sentiment were stamped with permanent india ink that is great for both coloring with copic markers or watercolor medium.

I colored the cups and flowers with Leisure Arts Double Ended Markers and waterbrush. I dried them and then fussy cut them with fine point scissors.

I added them in the middle of the card with 3D foam tape, and I added the sentiment and flower on top of them with liquid adhesive.

Thanks a latte for stopping by… I hope you all have a caffeinated and fabulous day!
