Coffee Inspired

Hello Everyone.

 

I have just spent the morning sorting out some paperwork that I need for a course I am starting on Monday.  I have finally decided enough is enough and learning French isn't something that I am just going to pick up.  So I have taken the plunge right into the deep end and signed up for a full time French course, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week.

 

I am very nervous about it as the course is also design to help you find work, interview techniques and write your CV.

 

I am still hoping it gives me time to craft in between studying as I find crafting very relaxing.

 

So wish me luck.

 

I have a coffee inspired card to share with you this afternoon.  Something I know I will need lots of come next week.

 

 

I decided to try something different and I bought a new stencil from my local craft shop.  I used a couple of different shades of blue ink and applied this to the stencil to create my background.

 

I then stamped the sentiment in black over where I had stencilled using the Coffee, Yes Please stamp set from Paper Sweeties.

 

I then stamped the cup from the same set onto some wood effect paper and applied the stencil pattern to this.  I then used the matching Sweet Cuts Set also from Paper Sweeties to cut out the mug and the steam.

 

I then finished my card with a few sequins.

 

I really love the clean and simple look at the moment but I still have to add some sparkle somewhere otherwise my cards just don't look finished.

 

 

This card is for the challenges at:

 

Fusion Card Challenge

 

and

 

CAS-ual Fridays

 

Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend to you all.
