Having Coffee with DeNami



Happy Saturday Everyone,

The weekend is here. Let's celebrate with a cuppa' joe. I've got my coffee brewing as I type.

In keeping with my love of coffee, my project for today is coffee themed. I used one of my new Mimi stamps from DeNami. This stamp reminds me of all the cups of coffee I have enjoyed with dear friends. I have used the color scheme from the Play Date Cafe Challenge: Peach, Lavender, and Wine. DeNami is sponsoring this week. Oh, hold on a minute, the coffee is ready. Hmmm, vanilla nut. Yummy. Sorry, back to work. I decided to use a scallop cut card mounted on a background of lovely lavender, peach, and wine CS and papers.


The Mimi image is stamped with black Stazon on white CS. Cardstock used: the base is Razzleberry, Almost Amethyst, both from Stampin' Up; lavender - The Paper Comp; Peach - World Win. The DP is from SU. I colored the image with markers (SU and Memento) and by water coloring with inks. Here is a close up.




And, I thought a nice coffee themed sentiment would be fitting for the inside. This one is from Sweet N' Sassy. I hand drew that swirl with a marker.





And a few challenges for Coffee Ladies:


Play Date Cafe: Color challenge
Mark's Finest Papers: Recipe - 3 pastel colors, 3 bling, 1 image
Stamping Vacation: You name the challenge. I name my challenge coffee themed.
Creative Cottage: Spring theme. I used spring colors and Mimi and Maddie are wearing their new Spring dresses.
Anything Challenge: Die cuts
By the Cute and Girly: Springtime - I used a springy color palette.

Have a super weekend!! Love ya.
Karen
