Summer Coffee Dreams

Hi friends! I'm back with another card for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. The hop kicks off today and runs through Friday, May 10. To be eligible for any of the fabulous Super Sponsor prizes, simply create a NEW spring or summer themed coffee, tea, or cocoa project and link it up over on the official Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop post. Enter as many cards as you like, the more the merrier! The deadline to link up is Friday, May 10.

***THIS POST CONTAINS COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS***
The Cat's Pajamas is one of the Super Sponsors for this hop, so I just had to pull out some fun TCP goodies and get to work making a summer themed coffee card.


The background is another one made possible by the fabulous new colors of  Dyestress Blendable Inks. This time I did something a little different, though. I pulled out my gelli plate and  inked it up with mint, caribbean and tahiti, then laid down some Rolling Hills die cuts in different directions before pulling my print. I love the ocean feel it gave! Can't you just almost feel the surf?


I cut down my print to card size, then used the excess to cut the Rolling Hills die once more to layer across my card. I then used a piece of cardstock I had used to clean up my gelli plate for the sentiment panel.  The sentiment and piggy are from the adorable Year of the Pig set.  I watercolored the image with blendable inks, then stamped a teeny coffee cup from Sponsored By for my piggy to be chillaxin' with.

My final accent were some seashells from the By the Sea Confetti Mix, which seemed custom made for this card!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you're enjoying the hopping. Be sure to head on over to the TCP Blog today to give Alma a shout out for being a Super Sponsor and to see what caffeinated goodness my teamies have crafted for you!
