I had a marbling session a while back and this was the "plainest" specimen of the whole bunch. When I was looking at it I thought it looked like it could pass for steaming coffee. Enter the cup from STAMPlorations Sketchy Coffee Cups dressed up with a pattern from Artsy Border Maker and fussy cut. And then the sentiment from STAMPlorations Fond Expressions 2 caught my eye. Now, how perfect is that?
I adhered the mug with foam adhesive in the middle and matt medium around the edges. Gives it a nice curved dimension.
This card is on its way to one tough lady who has had one tough time. And to CAS Mix Up where this month it's about
I've got stamping, marbling, some die cutting and some heat embossing. Lots of beautiful projects in the gallery over there. Can't wait to see all the yummy fall coffee projects. See you in the lineup!
I LOVE your marbled piece Maria. Definitely looks like marble ... and perfect as steam for the delicious cuppa! Awesome colours ... pink and brown look amazing together. And fantastic design with the double layer tag and stitching. Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
ReplyDeleteWow, yes - the marble-ing does look like steamy coffee, or a cuppa when you first put the cream in and it swirls . . . great card with the awesome pops of bright pink!
