Today is a Good Day

Hi all!  Today I have a card for the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop:

TH2015Stamp1a

I did a Fall colored watercolor background with my new Gansai Tambi watercolor paints and stamped the Tim Holtz Stamptember 2015 Coffee stamp on it.  I cut it out with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle die set from Your Next Stamp.

I stamped the image again on a scrap of watercolor paper and watercolored it.  Then I traced the outline of the cup and sign onto a piece of acetate with a wet erase marker.  I used this acetate with my Scan N Cut machine to get it to cut out just the cup portion.  I added that to the background with some foam tape.  Here you can see the dimension:

TH2015Stamp1b

Here’s a start to finish video:

And here’s THE LINK in case you can’t see the video player above.

This is also for the SSS Monday Challenge – Use a stamp and SSS Wednesday Challenge – No Designer Paper.  I hope you like it and TFL!  And enjoy the Hop!!

    You did an incredible job with this card! I love the watery blends of color and how you cut out the cup and popped it out from the background. What great layering! And the sentiment is perfect for the happy vibe of your card. Thank you so much for the inspiration and for sharing your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
