My new release has a fun set of coffee and tea themed images, so I'll share a couple of those cards today! I made a matching set of 2 cards using a favorite print done with my Gelli Plate. The images are stamped with Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink onto clay-coated cardstock, then flicked with rubbing alcohol.
I stamped some of the other new designs into the background - here's a close up where you can see those images a little better.
I added some shading and highlighting to this silhouette image with Touch Twin Markers as well.
I used the same techniques and the other side of the background panel for the second card. The pendant is made with a decorative head pin and some glass beads.
Stamps I used: Steam Flourish, Grinder, Coffee Ring, Coffee Pot, Coffee Mug, Coffee Beans
