TWO WAYS.

The Coffee and Roses Digital Stamps set

 --(PLUS Bonus tags!!)

 I hope you have been enjoying our hops so far!

Colorful 4x4 Card:

For the first card I made a 4 x 4 square card

coloring the images with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Alcohol Markers.  The Reds, Oranges and Corals really blend well.  I left harsher edges as I really wanted to see dark red then corals in the roses.

I added a touch of blue in the greenery and left the background white adding a blue matting layer

to carry on the blues.

I was going to keep it a note card theme

...but I could 

not resist the clear stickers....

I think they added the perfect balance.

I added Wink of Stella Clear to just the coffee.....added sweetness!

Monochromatic Background Only Card:

On the next card I really wanted to highlight the background to make the foreground really stand out.  I used the Tan Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend and did a freestyle water "spill"in the lightest color.

I outlined the image in the darkest tan and radiated outward darkest to lightest.

I added a few darker areas to really look like it was a coffee spill and some seeped thru the paper more deeply than in other areas.

I think it was successful and also made the image "pop"

I hope you try this technique as well!

Very nifty and handy Clear Stickers were used as sentiments.  I applied the clear stickers to white cardstock, trimmed it and then added with a glue pen to coordinating cardstock to match the card bases or matting layer, and then 

added mini pop up squares to adhere.

Cannot get any easier sentiments!
