<p>The Mini Slimline card base I used is 6&#8243; X 3.25&#8243; that fit perfectly with all the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://dare2bartzy.com/collections/new" target="_blank">D2BA new Slim Mini dies</a>. </p>



<p>I used gelli printing technique to create that background. I dabbed the dye inks directly on the gelli plate and spray lightly with water. Then, I added the stencil and I put the watercolor paper on top. I gently pressed the paper and then I removed the paper and stencil off the gelli plate. I grabbed another watercolor paper and pulled another print off the gelli plate. </p>

<p>I dried the printed paper with craft heater and then I cut it with the largest size of the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies. I added the front panel on too of the slim mini card base with permanent adhesive runner.</p>



<p>I stamped the coffee cup, sleeve, and lid on a watercolor paper with black pigment ink and dried them. I colored then with watercolor brush pens and water brush. I dried them again and then I cut them with the coordinating dies. I put the pieces together with dries-clear adhesive glue. I added the cup on the card with permanent adhesive</p>

<p>I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock with black pigment ink and then I cut it with the label die from the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Dies. I added it on the card with 3D foam tape.</p>



<p>That’s my card today! Hope this brings some sunshine into your day. Thanks so much for stopping by!</p>
