Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Super Sponsor!

It's time for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, and I'm honored to be a Super Sponsor again! Keep reading to find out how you can win one of two handmade prizes, and receive a special coupon code for my online store!

In case you're new to my blog, I'll tell you a little about me.  I adore Winnie the Pooh, randomly burst into song, and love fun socks. I'm a working artist (see my commissioned pet portraits HERE), have my own line of stamps, papers and stencils at Impression Obsession, and I'm the Artist in Residence at Splitcoaststampers. I have an online store where you'll find prints of my original artwork as well as notecards, jewelry, upcycled bags, and other items. I've been blogging here since 2006 and I'm a serial creator!

I had started this little canvas a few months ago when my coffee pot stencil was released - it began with a gel print and needed more layers and some touch ups. I filled in the image base with the same acrylic paint, then shaded with brown acrylic paint and added highlights with a colored pencil and acrylic paint pen. I painted in a shadow and horizontal line, then used matte gel to add in a couple of paper scraps and a die cut word. I used a Pitt pen to shade around the die cut, then stenciled in the clouds in the background. (I'm hosting the Mix-Ability challenge today at Splitcoaststampers, and the theme is Clouds in My Coffee! Perfect.)  One lucky commenter will win this mini canvas (4" x 6")!

My 2nd prize this week is a handmade mini tote bag in a coffee theme! My bags all feature upcycled, vintage, and thrifted textiles - this little bag is made from some leftover quilt scraps and kit pieces, thrifted strap and fabric, a valance, a pant leg, and some upholstery samples. The bag is about 10.5" wide with a 3" base - great size for some books or a project on the go.
