Books Are Like Friends Card

Hi guys, I'm here doing another card for the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog hop.  Here is a link to check out all of the amazing inspiration that is going on over there and all the info on how to join in if you want too!

I got my color and inspiration from the coffee cup that has been sitting in my stash for 3 years! 

I started off with  blending some Broken China distressed Oxide on a card base.  I used one of my die cuts that had a great border on it and I inked that in the same color oxide.  I grabbed my heart coffee stencil from Miss Ink Stamps  called Latte Love and used Hickory Smoke distressed oxide on it. 

I popped the coffee cup up on some foam tape and then die cut the spoon (you can see the handle of it sticking out of the cup) and the steam and adhered it all down.  

I have a book stamp that I stamped on 80lb card stock and colored it in using my Spectrum Noir markers (I'm still trying to get the hang of shading). and adhered that down and lastly I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of paper (because don't we all have scraps laying around so why not use them up).

Lastly, I used some distressed oxide on it as well and adhered it down and I was done!  I love the sentiment and it was such a quick and easy card and BONUS, I used up that coffee cup that was in my stash for so long!

I hope to see you all over at the hop!

Thanks for stopping by,
