Watercolored Coffee Cups with the Misti

I'm sharing this colorful project today for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Summer Blog Hop as well as So Suzy Stamps.  The hop is in full swing and you are welcome to join in with your summer creations featuring coffee, tea or cocoa.

Scroll down for my inspiration behind the bold summer colors!  I also have affiliate links at the end of this post if you'd like to do some shopping.  Enabler alert!




Many years ago, (don't ask HOW many!) I married The Hubs.  He was fresh out of college and was visiting the incoming freshman (me).  One year later we were engaged and 9 months after that, we got married .  We spent our honeymoon in Destin and Panama City Beach, FL.  It's about a 5-6 hour drive from where we live and has the whitest, sugary beaches you will ever find.  It's a beautiful vacation spot.  You'll also find the most colorful beach houses, as pictured below......

Yes, those gorgeous houses are actually in Panama City Beach, Florida.  I wondered, how could I incorporate summer into the coffee project that I had in mind? 

I also spotted a super fabulous project from my pal Jen, at Caffeinated Papercuts. (click, here)  I knew I wanted to use my cup stamp in multiples and Jen's colorful, multitude of caffeinated goodness, pushed me in the right direction.





I grabbed my Lawn Fawn Rainbow Plaid papers, some other goodies and went to work.  This is an amazingly quick card to put together.  All in all, it took less than 10 minutes from start to finish to complete.



The easiest way to accomplish this stamped layout and get it pretty darn near perfect, is use a Misti stamping tool to restamp each image 2-3 times for full, deep coverage.  Using a small pierced rectangle die I cut a piece of Strathmore mixed media paper and eyeballed my first stamp in the middle.  Next, stamp to the far left or right, then stamp at the far opposite.  Now, you can easily line up and stamp the two remaining spaces left just below your center stamp.  I chose to stamp in an arc and leave room for a small sentiment.





Coloring is super easy by grabbing some great watercolor markers, swipe on a craft mat and pick up the color with a slightly wet waterbrush.  Use a different color for each cup.  Using a paper towel, blot slightly on the right side of each cup for a "light effect".  Add more color as desired but heat dry for a few seconds before adding more color to each cup.  If you'd like, add some ribbon and buttons for embellishment.




Thanks for popping in to take a look at today's project.  I hope I've inspired you to give this a try.  You can link up to the summer hop, here, but hurry, Friday 6/30 is the last day.

Day One Coffee Loving Cardmakers Summer Blog Hop

I'm so excited for day one of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Summer Blog Hop!  The record was broken at the Spring Hop, for the number of participants and we certainly hope that trend continues.  We have new, amazing sponsors in addition to the many who continue to support this happy little caffeinated group.  





For today's project, I'm putting my drawing and watercoloring skills to work.








I will often Google images that I want to recreate and that is the case for my flamingo.  I shared this side by side comparison of my drawing, from the Googled photo, on my social media awhile back.




I used my Adornit watercolor pencils and water brush to color all my hand drawn images; the flamingo, the ocean with reflection of the flamingo, and the palm tree. 








I felt like I should include at least one stamped image, after all, this is a group who loves stamping.  So, I used the Sweet Stamp Shoppe image from the Cuppa Coffee stamp set and did some no line watercoloring.  For this, I used my Tombow dual brushes to swipe on my stamp a faint outline in blue, then orange for my summer beverage.






My triple stacked and popped up sentiment is courtesy of Stamplorations Hello Sunshine die.  I watercolored this as well, and added a coating of clear Nuvo Crystal drops for shine.  It is gorgeous in person!  My flamingo and sentiment were colored on Strathmore watercolor paper 300 series. 
Lastly, I stenciled some Bo Bunny Sugar Glitter Paste on my sky and water, and colored a few on top with a yellow Tombow dual brush marker after they were heat dried.  I'm using an A7 sized Bazzill card (scallop trimmed off)  that has been slightly trimmed down, and Adornit scrapbook paper designed by Laura Kelly Designs.





Be sure and create something new that is summer themed and includes a coffee, tea or cocoa image.  It can be a summer drink, even.  Think frappucino!  Then, be sure and join our challenge as there will be a ton of prizes up for grabs.
