Fall 2017 Coffee Lover's Bloghop!

Another fun Fall 2017 Coffee Lover's Bloghop Event!

Hosted by Amy and Chaitali.

STAMPlorations is joining the fun as a Sponsor with more prizes and linky fun!

I am joining the fun with my "May your cup be Full and your book be Long " card!

I made my smooshed background using T.H. Distress Oxide Inks: Antique Linen, Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade and Abandoned Coral.  I started with my lightest color 1st.  I swiped one ink onto my craft mat and misted with water then smooshed onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper.  Dried with heat tool.  Repeated the technique until I had used all  my Fall colors.  I really like how my smooshed background turned out.

I was inspired by this card by STAMPlorations DT member, Kathy's bloghop card.  TFS Kathy (Stamps At Play)

Next I stamped the mug and books from Shery's STAMPlorations "Good Books and Coffee" stamp set using Archival Black ink.  Next stamped the sentiment from Becca's STAMPlorations "Literary Caffeine-ations" set.

I then stamped a leaf from Shery's "Trendy Leaves" set to make my card seem even more like Fall!

Die cut my layer using Memory Box Stitched Rectangles Die and attached to my SU Thick Whisper White card base.  A really fun, quick and easy card.  I love when that happens:-)

Enjoy and hope you get to play along in the bloghop too.  BTW...I am so happy...we are finally getting rain in the Pacific Northwest.  Should really help get all the fires under control!  Hugs..
