I'm still having fun embossing with my plastic stencils (love when I find a new way to use my existing supplies) … remember the a2z scrapbooking challenge for February is Embossing … it's a chance to win $25 to spend on Hero Arts products in the a2z scrapbooking store … like this Be Happy set you can pick-up for only $4.00 (there's just one left so hurry).
This time I embossed the Hero Arts BasicGrey Two Way Arrows stencil again, but this time on Kraft Cardstock. I used StazOn Spiced Chai Ink direct to paper over the textured embossing (which seemed perfect, since Spiced Chai is my go-to choice of hot drink).
used three different images from the Hero Arts Caffeine Fix Digital Stamp set to create my image (a2z is the exclusive distributor of Hero Arts Digital designs)
I combined the coffee cup (or tea cup in my case) with the steam and the sentiment using my word processing software, which allows me to re-size, flip (I wanted my mug handle on the right) and position the images, so they are perfect for my card design, and then printed it on Natural White Cardstock.
The layout is this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch (flipped on its side to work with my vertical image).
Embossing with stencils is such a fun and easy way to add texture to your design. I hope you’ll join us for our Embossing Challenge this month … and remember, you can use Coupon Code STEPH15 for 15% off your order of $25.00 or more (before tax and shipping) in the a2z Store.
Love your coffee card!!!
