Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop | Espresso Gratitude

So how are you all enjoying the Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop? I know I am. There are so many amazingly talented people in this world and so many coffee lovers too!

Today, I'm popping in to share my second card for the hop. This is actually a first for me. I usually only end up doing one card. However, I took some time this week to play around a little and this is what I came up with. Coloring is so good for the soul!

Espresso Gratitude Card by Juliana Michaels

The coffee cups and coffee beans are from the Jane's Doodles Coffee Time stamp set. I stamped the images onto watercolor paper using Versamark Embossing Ink. I then sprinkled them with white embossing powder and heat set them with my embossing gun. Next, I colored in the cups and background using Zig Clean Color Real Brush. I used Distress Ink as a watercolor to color the inside of the cups and the coffee beans.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things LLD Perk Up stamp set. I stamped it using Ranger Archival Ink in Espresso onto kraft cardstock. 

To add the embossed lines across the top and bottom of the sentiment panel, I used my Scor Pal. I simply scored the lines on the back side of the paper and then adhered it to the card front.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
