Since my teammates and I have been featuring PaperArtsy's Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints this week, I figured I'd just go with the flow and use them to create my coffee-themed project.
Here's my card using the Coffee Time Red Rubber Cling Stamp Set by Darkroom Door with Mermaid, South Pacific, Blah Mange, and Prawn Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints by PaperArtsy.
I started the card by creating the background first. Drops of Mermaid and Blah Mange Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints were squeezed onto my craft mat, spread with the the 2" Speedball Brayer, then randomly applied to heavy mixed media cardstock. Since both paint colors are opaque, they mixed and overlapped until the cardstock was covered. South Pacific and Prawn Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paints, which are translucent and semi-opaque respectively, were applied sparingly using the brayer.
Two colors of brown VersaFine Clair inks were used to stamp the coffee bean cluster and the single coffee bean from the Coffee Time Red Rubber Cling Stamp Set by Darkroom Door onto the painted background. The beans were all heat set with clear detail embossing powder. Thee background was trimmed to 4" wide and set aside.
The coffee cup was stamped with Copic friendly ink onto white cardstock, fussy-cut, colored with Copic markers, then edged with a dark marker.
Roasted Coffee Prism Ink was used to stamp the coffee rings onto dry embossed kraft cardstock. The darker color of VersaFine Clair ink was used to stamp the sentiment. This panel was trimmed, then edged with Roasted Coffee Prism Ink using the Premier Ink Blending Tool and Foam Applicators.
Clock patterned Washi tape was added to the base of the matted panel and the coffee-cup was adhered as shown.
The image panel was adhered to the stamped, embossed, and painted background paper. The card front was trimmed to 5.25" tall, all edges were sponged with Roasted Coffee Prism Ink, and the card front was adhered to a teal A2 card.
