Stamping 411 – Morning Cup

July 30, 2010 By Connie | 11 Comments

Feeling kind of puny today…think I'm coming down with a cold…throat is scratchy and I'm very tired.  Tried to take a nap this afternoon, but hubby came home early from work!

 

Selene created a very simple sketch for this week's Stamping 411 sketch challenge SSC162.  When I saw the trio of images for the front, I immediately thought of the coffee cup in Stampin' Up!'s new Morning Cup stamp set (plus it was sitting out on my desk from Club night!)

 

 

Here's my intrepretation:

 

When I'm trying to decide on a color scheme, sometimes I try to go with colors I haven't used in a while.  I know I've been using a lot of reds, yellows, blues and greens…my pinks have been neglected!  So I pulled out the base of Pretty in Pink cardstock.  I layered on Regal Rose and ran it thru my Big Shot with the Petals A Plenty Impressions Folder for some texture.  I stamped the trio of Coffee Cups from Morning Cup in Basic Black on Very Vanilla cardstock, then watercolored with Stampin' Write Markers and the AquaPainter.  I decided the bottom looked a little plain, so added a Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon bow.  I also added some bling with the Rhinestone Jewels in the center of each heart on the cups.

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Make sure to check out what the other Stamping 411 Operators did with the sketch this week!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Connie, This is a very pretty card.  I love the pinks but I don't seem to use them very often.  Love those coffee cups, and the bling is a great added touch.
