CARDS

The main stamp set in the August My Monthly Hero set is absolutely adorable! I love the coffee images and all the sentiments. Here is my first card...

To create this card, I did a simple watercolor wash on watercolor paper for a quick and easy background. Next, I stamped and die cut 2 of the coffee cups and added a quick Copic splash of color to each cup. I know that my friends and i all take our coffee differently, so I added a lighter version and a darker version. (Mine is the one with all the cream and it ends up where I have a little coffee with my cream...haha!) I used one of the latte images with a brown ink and then on the darker coffee, I added the latte art image in white ink. Last, I stamped the sentiment off to the side and matted the whole card front in a kraft colored card stock.

When I saw this Fancy Window die, I knew it had to be a shaker card. I die cut the window in white cardstock intending to add some color but when I saw it in white....I had to keep it that way.

I created the shaker box and lined the back of it with a piece of rainbow patterned paper to make the white window details pop. I added in some fun shaker makings and then added the thank you sentiment to the little sign. I attached the shaker box to a green card base which made that white die cut shine even more.
