Hi friends! I'm back with another card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I'm having a lot of fun using the limited time free Three Cheers digi and decided to go mixed media for this one.
I wanted a watery background look, so started by covering a piece of white cardstock with gesso. Next I scraped on some lime green, aqua and white paints with a credit card. I scribbled a bit with a teal distress crayon, then watered it up with a waterbrush and let it drip around until I was happy with the background. I then splattered a bit of watered down heavy body white paint with a fan brush for that splashy waves kind of look.
The sentiment from Three Cheers is printed on white paper and cut with a stitched circle die, then I colored the cup with Copic markers, hand cut and dolled up with a bit of frosted lace stickles and some glossy glaze and glitter on the star. I finished with distressed edges and a bit of bakers twine.
So much fun to get my fingers paint stained again! Hope it inspires! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Oh my gosh, love your credit card scraping! My friend recently showed me the technique using liquid pearls. Each one resists the next and the layers end up so beautiful. A little goes a long way.
