Today is another Impression Obsession Challenge day, and the theme is "Celebrating Mom." You might look at my card and think, "what?!!" However, I decided to make a card celebrating MY mom. She is quite the coffee junkie (as am I). Whenever we get together, we always make time for a coffee and chat session. With Mothers' Day coming up, I think the best thing you can do is personalize your card to match your mom. To make this card, I created a background using two different Cover A Card backgrounds. I stamped the Swatches background (CC023) onto cream paper with Colorbox Chalk Creamy Brown ink. I then stamped the Thin stripes background (CC001) over the swatches background using Colorbox Chalk Chestnut Roan ink. Here is a close up of the two backgrounds combined:
The stamp and saying come from a clear set (Coffee with a Friend CL257). I colored the image with Copic markers and added a bit of Platinum Stickles to the steam for sparkle. To finish the card, I layered a couple of buttons and tied them together with some hemp string. Need more mom ideas? Check out what Daniela, Deborah, Dina, Jeanne, Jenny, Julie, and Kathy created.
