Coffee Spills

Hi! Hope you're all raring to go and bright eyed and bushy tailed? No?

Maybe you need some of this... a coffee fountain!

 Some days, I'm not sure even this would do the trick, although I'd probably have substantial palpitations trying to down such a lot!
I've used this set from Avery Elle

As long as you don't mind cutting a few coffee cups out- or actually, masking them would work just as well.

The little hearts in the set are perfect for adding a little colour to the scene and if you fancied making them cute, you could add the face that's in the set too!

The spillage was just using some distress ink with water added onto an acrylic block and then painted using a water brush to keep the ink fluid

I got a little paint-happy and sloshed it everywhere. I wasn't meaning for it to get quite that spilled, it even ended up in the left hand corner of the card too.
It was just like the butterscotch sauce all over my kitchen floor on Sunday.. but that's another story ;-)

It's a great set- full of fun images and useful sentiments.
Hope you have a great day, and don't drink too much coffee, (unless it's the really good stuff!)

See you next week,

New From Old(ish!)

 Hi! How are you doing today? Thought I'd create cards using brand new shapes from old(ish) sets!
 To create this mandala flower, I've used the crayon from Paper Smooches 'Smarty Pants' set. It is coming back into store soon, but you can create the same flower using this Lawn Fawn set.

A flower from a crayon?
Here's how!....

 Just carefully line them up so the top of crayon's lines match and stamp around.

 Once completed, just cut down each line in the centre and fold the shapes back.

Cut out now and then colour in. For the central sentiment, I've used this 'I blank you' set.

Then just add some white gel pen details and some glitter.

You can do this technique with nearly any shape. I've already posted this on my blog but thought I'd show you too. Using the Avery Elle Set 'We Go Together'

I've used the heart and the cookie. You just need a symmetrical image to get an easily repeated shape.

It's so easy- and you can make shapes you never thought you had in your sets!! 

See you next Tuesday,
