2020 Spring Summer Coffee Lovers SUPER SPONSOR!

If you love a hot beverage, you'll love the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - you can find all the information on links, prizes and how to play along by clicking HERE! Warm up your coffee, tea, and cocoa stamps and add a card to the hop, or just hop along for the inspiration and comment for chances to win!

I'm happy to be sponsoring the hop once again - two lucky participants will receive a $10 gift code to my Etsy store and a commenter will win a coffee-themed die set from Spellbinders. Also, please enjoy a discount when you shop in my store, using the code below! Clicking the graphic should add the code to your cart automatically once your total is $20 or more, and that coupon is good till the end of the month.

To continue the love on Etsy, I wanted to highlight a few images from Di's Digi Stamps - Di has some adooooorable digital images, and she's just opened up a store over on Etsy where you can find all kinds of delightful images like these for instant download! I picked a few of the tea-themed images, but there are many more to choose from! 

I printed these images onto watercolor paper and worked in layers to color each little scene. On the roses and cup here I used Karin Markers for even base layers. My favorite handy palette is full of QoR watercolors, so I used those to add shading and details.

I had some perfect sentiments for these cards from A Jillian Vance Design - the particular set I used is retired but all these sentiments are included in a newer coffee/tea sentiment set called Hug in a Mug - if you're looking for some tidy one-liners for your cards, be sure to check that set out!

Another sweet tea theme, and those macarons - yum!

One more just for fun - this one is called Strawberry Tea, and those berries were so fun to color up! Strawberries are one of my favorite summer treats. I did use a little bit of colored pencil on these for darker shading in a few areas.

I used a stencil for the background on this card... that one is not released yet, but I'll share a secret - A Colorful Life Designs will be coming out with a few coffee themed stencils on June 1st! The one I used here has some drips and a coffee ring - you'll love them. Enjoy a 10% discount over there with my code DinaFan10 any time!

That's all I know today - enjoy the hop, and thank you for visiting me - I hope you'll pop over to Etsy to check out my store as well as Di's Digis! Cheers!
