Hello there dear bloggers, and welcome to another Saturday of Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style - Coffee, Tea or Me? Sharon has a "Coffee/Tea" category over at The Stamp SImply Ribbon Store that you can see here.
I think my card today has a shabby chic feel, with lots of layering. I used JustRite's Lace Borders Two stamp, and stamped down the right side with VersaMark ink, then added white embossing powder, and heat set with heating tool. I stamped my cup with Memento Rich Cocoa, then added some shading with Copic Markers. The three little flowers were all white, but I rubbed some Tattered Rose Distress Ink across the top of each one, and with a paint brush and water, smoothed it down toward the center for a softer look.
As always, this is a Mystery Blog Candy hop, meaning the winner will be drawn from comments on one of today’s participating blogs, so leaving a comment on each blog will greatly increase your chances of winning, but only one comment per blog, please. The winner will be selected at 6 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, April 24 and will be posted on Sharon's blog on Wednesday or thereafter.
