Have a coffee with me for the May Sheepski Designs challenge. The May theme is Flower Power! I chose to use the Coffee & Cake digi with the pretty flowers on the cupcake for my inspiration card. I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils accented with gold Aqua Shimmer and paired it with sentiments from CC Designs and paper from Prima Marketing.
Putting It All Together
I originally wanted to do watercolouring on the image so printed on watercolour paper, but my printer wasn't cooperating and didn't want to use the water safe ink. I switched to pencils and was very pleased with how it turned out. Probably better than if I had done it in watercolour.
I used Prismacolor pencils to colour the image and plumb forgot to put the pencil list in the picture. Pinks, blues, browns, and yellows :)
I fussy cut the image with a narrow margin. One of these years I'll get a digital cutter. Someday my prince will come...
In my stash, I round a lovely paper from a retired Prima pad and matted it with Micheals coloured paper using a Spellbinders die set to transform them into a table cloth. A snip of ribbon from my stash that might have come from some packaging (dunno, it's been in my ribbon box a while) and a sentiment from CC Designs to complete the scene.
I adhered them to a white card base, stamping the sentiment in black, and adding some Kaisercraft hot pink pearls. I used foam mounting tape to pop up the coffee and cake for a little dimension.
Detail of just the coffee and cake. I also added Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer from Nuvo to the yellow frosting for a bit of sparkle.
Inside, I stamped another sentiment from the set and coloured in the heart. I also added a strip of the scrap from the paper I used on the front.
Come join us in the Sheepski Design blog challenge! Flower Power is the theme for May.
