I don't know about you, but I am both a coffee and tea-aholic. Yes, the caffeine can get you through the day, but they both just taste so good! I also love coffee and tea related items, so I really looked forward to this challenge. I can't wait to be inspired by the other designers.
To make my card, I started with kraft cardstock and created a background with Vintage Photo and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide inks. I started by rubbing the two colors of ink onto a craft mat and spritzed them wtih water. I then dabbed the kraft cardstock into the puddles of ink. Next, I dried the paper with a heat gun while randomly misting the paper with water. The extra water helped bring out the "oxide" look of the inks. Once I got the look I wanted, I stamped the Impression Obsession Coffee Ring image onto the background to give the background a coffee/distressed feel.
Here is a close up of the background:
To finish the card, I added the Happily Caffeinated sentiment and Coffee Pot images to my background using black Versafine ink.
Here is a close up of the saying if you are having trouble reading it:
