Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is one of the Super Sponsors of the hop, and I pulled out their fabulous Jesus & Coffee set to start this card. I've been telling you how much I love the new colors of Dyestress blendable inks, and here's another card that proves it!

For the background, I embossed the topdown cup and saucer image repeatedly on smooth bristol with white embossing powder. Next I smooshed on tahita, caribbean and mint Dyestress inks, for a nice emboss resist technique. I'm swooooooooning over these colors!!! 😍😍😍 When I was done drooling over the background I set it aside and started working on my other elements for this freestyle collage card.

The coffee word is stamped and embossed in white on black cardstock using the Tyepwriter Blocks Alpha set. I cut each letter with a thin border using the Cut-Align and then staggered them to fit across the Rectangular Stamp Die, popped up on foam tape.

Next I stamped a cup from the set and watercolored with tahiti, mint, and palomino Dyestress inks and hand trimmed  The sentiment strip is stamped in black and then cut with the aid of the Cut-Align.  

My final element was a sweet little butterfly from the Made New set (one of my faves), stamped onto a piece of cardstock I had smooshed the same color of inks onto.  I thought it was the perfect little accent to tie this little spring fling coffee card together.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to hop on over to the SNSS Blog to thank them for their sponsorship and you just might see another coffee card from me while you're there.

Stay tuned for more coffee loving goodness!
