Pastel Coffee Card

Hello friends! Lordy, I have had a lot of life issues lately and I needed something to distract me. My computer crashed, we just had severe weather and some storm damage to our house with a massive tree blown down in our backyard, and next week I have to have 2 biopsies to determine whether or not I'm going to battle breast cancer like my mom and sister did. Whew!

Thankfully, I have a little reprieve from all the drama. The Coffee Loving Papercrafters Spring/Summer blog hop is here. This is a traditional industry hop, so you'll just hop around at all the industry designers projects and leave comments for the chance to win prizes. Click the link above for all the details.

Let me tell you, trying to write up this post is a major challenge. I haven't got my computer fixed yet so I'm managing on my son's Mac Air which has been dormant so long, the battery won't hold a charge and I had to keep it plugged up to type this post.

I also don't know my way around a Mac Air. I can't figure out how to copy and paste!!! I was somehow able to drag the link above from CLP but it was a struggle.

Although I'm not linking this card to the hop, as it's not a participant hop, as a Brew Crew member at CLC, I just wanted to share the love, promote and support my caffeinated friends!

I opted to create with Gina K Designs products today.  I saw some Instagram posts today where some designers were hopping just for fun in celebration of Gina K Designs.

I've had one of her stamp sets in my stash for a few months, that I haven't inked up yet, so the timing was just right.

I paired the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set with the Daily Grind stamp set, coloring my images with OLO Markers. I kept it simple, choosing only 3 colors that worked as pastels; RV0.2, YO2.3 and BG2.4. I wanted have lots of color and get creative with the bloom by making "rainbow" pastel colors on each flower petal. I love how it turned out! I also used those same markers to swipe the edges of my sentiment and to color up my coffee cup.

 

I also did some embellishing with a white gel pen, Pops of Color liquid embellishment (Soft Lavender) and tapped on some black ink splatters using the tube feeder of my Dylusions Black Marble spray.

A good inky time was had by all, and I thoroughly enjoyed the distraction!

I hope you'll make time to go enjoy all the inspiration on the hop! Have a great day!
