Essentials by Ellen APRIL Pin-Sights Challenge

Hello there!  I decided to take a break from my design team projects and make a card for the Essentials by Ellen APRIL Pin-Sights Challenge.  I couldn't resist the gorgeous color palette of this beautiful board!!




I love these fresh, Spring colors.  I would normally do a floral card with colors like this, but I've been making a lot of floral cards lately and wanted to switch things up, so I decided to use the Oh Frappe by Julie stamp set today.  This is my first time inking it up and I have to say I LOVE these images and sentiments so much!





First I cut an A2 size piece of white card stock using the zig zag border die from SugarPea Designs.  Next I stamped then colored the frappe cups with Copic markers (RV09, Y11, V12, and CO and C3 for the greys).  To make the strip of coffee bean paper I used PTI Hawaiian Shores to stamp a wood pattern on white card stock and then stamped the beans on top.  I love making my own patterned paper, there are so many choices for patterns and you can get the exact colors you want.  I stamped the sentiment, tied some black string around the beans, and added some black sequins to finish my card.  This was quick and easy to make :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
