Need to Venti?

Hello and welcome to Studio 5380.

I hope your week has been going well for you.
So far, so good around here! It's been a bit busy, but I made some "me time" today and played in my Studio most of the day (♥).  While checking out some of my favorite blogs, I noticed a fun challenge going on over at the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge Blog. This is my favorite type of challenge:
ANYTHING GOES!  So, I had to play along....


So, I've really been wanting to try my hand at using watercolors somewhere on my card (late to the party, I know).  I finally got brave enough to give it a try and I am loving the way it turned out!

After cutting out my white mat, I dabbed a bit of clear water across the bottom portion and added my watercolors. I used the cheap-o watercolor set from Michael's, but it has such pretty colors.


I added a few splatters of watercolor and stamped on the "hello" using the oh-so cute Paper Smooches stamp set Bold Buzzwords.  I love the fonts on this fun set.


The great coffee cup is from the Hot Concoctions stamp set. I colored this little cutie with my Copic Markers and did a bit of fussy-cutting.  For a final touch, I added some Frosted Lace Stickles to the whipped cream to remind me of my favorite (at this time) Starbuck's Concoction - a Salted Caramel Latte....yum.

To finish up, I added a heart stamped heart and some shiny sequins.
Now, I'm off to link this up over at the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge Blog - wish me luck!



Thanks for stopping by - see ya soon.....

  9. Well you know I LOVE this card! :) You did a fabulous job on the water coloring... It's funny how we crafters get nervous at trying our hands on new things.... you would think we'd jump in with both feet... HA I'm glad you tried it... keep it up! :)
