Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Hero Arts Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge Color My World and a few other challenges listed below for my Christmas coffee card. I used Hero Arts Fancy Tag Dies Santa & Mug along with Hero Arts Happy Die Cut from the Happy Thanks Stamp and Cut Set. I used Distress Oxide Ink Candied Apple for my background splattered with white Copic paint and silver glitter paint then embossed with the Paper Studio Stars Embossing Folder. Then I masked half of the Happy Die and used the Distress Oxide Ink Candied Apple at the top. I did a similar technique for the green one using Distress Oxide Ink Lucky Charm. I used Hero Arts 5 Point Stars Infinity Dies to make glitter stars in the background just to add more sparkle and stars for the Time Out Challenge #267 Seeing Stars.

ReplyDeleteMeghan, yet another clever card from your crafty fingers to share with us at Double Trouble!! Both cards are nice, but I think red is my favorite.
