Sunshine in a Cup

Hey friends! I'm back with another coffee card for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Coffee is definitely one of those sunshine things in my life. Since the twins were born, I've struggled with depression, and back when I still ran Verve one of the things I would do to try to pep myself up each day was work just a little bit on coffee illustrations, sentiments, and cards. It was a bright spot in my day and always made me smile. So as things have gotten a bit crazy in the world lately, I decided to reinstitute this little bright spot in my day. And thus the Sunshine in a Cup DIGI was born.

I've been having so much fun creating with this set!  For today's card, I colored up the large flower in sunflower colors, then added the sentiment on a die cut for the sunflower center.  I then also colored up the sunflower mug and fussy cut.

I thought my flower needed a stem, so I did something I rarely do... sketch on a card.  I'm not a sketcher. I draw on a computer with a mouse, not with a pencil. LOL After I sketched it out roughly, I then colored with Copic markers and sponged the background with peacock feathers, tumbled glass, squeezed lemonade, shabby shutters, and peeled paint distress oxides.
