Today, guest Kim Taylor is sharing coffee and donuts from the Latte Happy Vibes stamp set.
From Kim:
For today’s cards we have a 3-fer!This project was a lot of fun because this stamp set is so cute!!! Colouring all the adorable images from the YNS Latte Happy Vibes Stamp & Die set and turning them into 3 cards only took a couple of hours and the end results are so worth the time!
The first one isn’t a true single layer card but I kept it fairly flat by doing most of the background directly on the card base. I did some light, intentionally splotchy ink blending on the card base after masking off the bottom 1/3. I stamped a brick wall background stamp, pulled off the masking and moved it to cover the wall. Then I inked the sidewalk a dark grey and added some green paper that I tore to be the grass. The sentiments in the set are equally fun and adorable so I used one of those as well.
For card two I repeated the process on a card panel so that there would be a small white framing margin to give it a slightly different look. I also used a speech bubble die for the sentiment this time to match the ‘active’ feel of the card.
For card three I repeated the same process as the second card, varying the brick wall colours a bit. I like to use neutrals in the background so that the brighter colours of the images really pop!
I hope that these cards inspire you to break out your smaller images and really see what you can create!
Happy Crafting!
