Miss Ink Stamps – To Perk You Up

Welcome friends! Today I have a bit of caffeinated inspiration featuring stamps and stencils from Miss Ink Stamps. Tomorrow is the start of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring | Summer Hop and I wanted to get you warmed up today!

To start this card, I had an idea in my head, so I pulled out my stamps and laid them on a card from to see if things would fit the way I was hoping. It seemed to work out so I stamped everything and colored the images with my copic markers. I used the scan-n-cut to cut them all out and arranged them in layers, using liquid glue to adhere small bits together at a time.

Once I had the general shape of my images together I pulled out an A2 panel and inked it up with cracked pistachio and mermaid lagoon distress oxide inks. Then I layered the Springtime Lace stencil over the top and added another layer of the same colors over the top. I spritzed the panel with water and then gold watercolor and set it aside to dry.

Once the panle was dry, I trimmed it down to 4×5.25 inches and added it to a white card base with liquid glue. I added the images with a combo of liquid glue and foam squares next. Finally, I put the whole card in my MISTI and carefully stamped my sentiment nestled in beneath the banner.

For finishing touches I added some glossy accents to parts of the coffee beans and berries on the branch. Then I added unicorn Stickles to the flowers and leaves.
