Hi again friends!
I don't often post two cards in one day but today I didn't want to miss the deadline of the current Less Is More: One Layer/Favorite Drink challenge so here I am with my card for that and a couple of more inspiring challenges.
I chose coffee for my drink -I do like tea too but the colors of a coffee-themed card felt more appealing after the first card I posted today and really loved! Anyway... I used STAMPlorations stamps and stencil for this card. The soft bg is made using a stencil and an old blusher brush. The ink brushing is made with the same walnut stain ink than the stamping -this will maybe give you an idea how softly you are able to apply ink using a brush instead of a sponge! I've also used wink of stella for all the coffee cups and for the steam coming out of the cups -the WOS made the ink run a bit and I was actually pretty pleased with the two-tone "steams" I was able to get as a result! Hope you like and thanks for popping by!
In addition to LIM I'm entering:

DeleteSimply beautiful Nonni, a wonderful stamp and wonderful design too. Great use of stencilling in the BG too. Love it and thanks for playing along at Less is More this week. Sarah
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fabulous design and one layer card. I love your soft and subtle stencil background and how you stamped the cups!
ReplyDeleteGreat design, beautiful made.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining at Stamping Sensations this month.
What a great design and yes, it's amazing to see how different the ink looks when you apply it differently.
ReplyDeleteJust the card you want to see if you need some lifting! The sponged background gives a beautiful and warm effect! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll today!! LOVE this design. So creative and fun. And I'm loving the brown cards today. xx
ReplyDeleteA fabulous example of a one layer card, I must remember this layout. The stencilling just makes it and it's amazing that it's the same ink colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
I love the combination of stamping and stencilling - so effective and looking amazing! Fab idea! What a super one layer design. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)
ReplyDeleteLove the design, how the top panel is shorter than the bottom. The soft stencil colour looks fab combo with the same ink. I haven't tried this yet but I guess I need more than one stencil!
ReplyDeleteCute design and love all the coffee cups!
ReplyDeleteClever layout and use of the same ink to make different tones. I feel this is a bit 70s style ish, and your card really appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteLove your card - coffee can make a day better. :) Thanks for taking the challenge with us at the Mod Squad Challenge
ReplyDeleteNice design -- great sentiment for your "coffee" card. Thanks for playing along in the STAMPlorations CAS challenge.
