Not the card I planned for today, but don't you love it when technology forces you to have to re-work things??

Even after the official coffee hop is over, please keep checking back since I have a couple more projects I want to make and they will count for extra entries.
Consequently my colouring (which I haven't done in months and months) isn't quite the way I wanted it. The paper is from the Echo Park Coffee themed paper pad and sentiment is by Ink Road.
Now I said I'd make a card featuring the crazy little chihuahua that's also in the giveaway. I love Katzelkraft images, but they don't come mounted (at least not the ones I have).
This isn't an issue since you can buy sheets of stamp mounting foam from anywhere that sells stamps and tools. It's sticky on one side which adheres to the rubber, and the other side is the cling foam we use with the usual acrylic block or MISTI.
If you don't have any, I can mount the winner's stamp on cling foam for you before posting. Just let me know if you win him!
I used a mask and some Colour Burst paste on kraft cardstock for a background and let it dry while I coloured that little doge with Copic Markers. Kinda sucky, but it was contingency plans all the way! The shimmery duochrome effect of the paste is gorgeous though!
I just added some pattered paper and mounted the image on pop dots. Pretty simple! Once my gold Heidi Shine shows up again, I'll add some ink splatters, perhaps. It really is a very bare card for me!

Thanks Hetty! Pastes and masks are so fun and even imperfections are ok!
DeleteYour chihuahua card is too funny like the sentiment. I love the pattern papers and your background is amazing! Beautiful colors!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite coffee desserts are ice cream and a typical Italian dessert called Tartufo, it's a kind of ice cream dessert.

ReplyDeletepup is so adorable and I can tell he DOES know things! lol
Adorable card. (I follow all your socials). rebyah1 @ gmail.com
good grief, I forgot to answer your questions … comes with age! lol
DeleteI love coffee flavored desserts. Well, I never met a dessert I didn't like, coffee flavored or not. lol It's hard to argue with a good Tiramisu. Yum!
Lol! You don't have to do the question, but I'm glad you did, because I also never met a dessert I didn't like! lol
DeleteLove that gorgeous background and this little dog is so cute. Coffee and walnut cake is a favourite of mine. Thanks for the chance. I am following with friends connects. Hugz
ReplyDeleteOooh coffee and walnut cake! YUMMY! Thanks for the blog love! I really appreciate it!
DeleteI love that cute dog on your card. Great overall design and colors too. Your coloring is fantastic I think.
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you Verna! That's lovely!
DeleteVery cute card! I love the Katzelkraft pup! I have a set of their kitty designs!
ReplyDeleteNew follower here!
I like tea, and my favorite cookie is an Almond Bar I make every year at this time! It's become a family tradition!
Thanks for coming on board! I LOVE almond flavour and marzipan! I bought a handful of the Katz cats, but not the set. I hope to get that one soon! The other critters they have are so funny too!
DeleteSO cute! Love the duochrome dots. So fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! This is one of my favourite colours!
DeleteYour card is just too cute. I used this image for the hop as I have it too and he's just too cute. I like your coloring and design.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I will definitely have to have a look! Thanks for visiting!
Deleteyour card is super cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fikreta!
DeleteSo very fun, everyone needs coffee!
ReplyDeleteHaha I definitely agree! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThis is such a quirky and fun card...and I am all about Chai lately...with vanilla creamer!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about quirky! And chai is sooo yummy! There is a cafe nearby which makes the most incredible dirty chai!
Deletesuch wonderful coloring and I adore that extra texture!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! I love texture too. This one is still flat enough to post easily so that's a bonus!
DeleteHmmm, that chihuahua has probably already had too much coffee...but that's just my opinion! Hilarious card..and I love the shiny dotted background. My favorite drink is just french roast coffee with no sugar, and hot milk. Simple and the perfect go-with for decadent desserts.
ReplyDeleteLol I definitely agree! A certain troublesome cat has actually taken a sip of my coffee on occasion and he DEFINITELY doesn't need extra caffeine!
DeleteI've really enjoyed ALL your fabulous posts. Thanks for sharing your talents, I've really enjoyed them. My favorite dessert is....CHEESE CAKE!!! YUM!!!!

Thank you Karen! We are all cheesecake fans in this house too!!
DeleteOMGoodness, this little guy is so precious! And I love that sentiment! So true! Your background is gorgeous - I like how it changes colour depending on the angle! As for desserts, I am not particularly drawn to coffee-inspired makes, but more so anything chocolate! Love this cute card and that adorable dog!
ReplyDeleteHe makes me laugh! There are so make katzlkraft stamps I need in my life. They have lots of cat ones!
DeleteLove how you did the background and the cute dog. Latte Matcha is now my favorite.
