For this card, I wanted to keep it to the Spring/Summer colors (rather than the usual coffee colors) so I dug into my some bright colored scraps and off I went!
I made sure to grab the scraps I had left over from an amazing white, linen paper I just discovered at Hobby Lobby. I love this paper because it soaks up the inks really well and you can do amazing stamping and blending with this paper!
After picking out the brightest Spring/Summer colors I cut them all down to A2 and smaller in order to layer them. I also did a bit of distressed work on all sides of each piece I cut out.
After adhering them down I went to town on stamping the linen card stock with this cute, frappe stamp from Ink Roads Stamps. I chose to stamp them in Hero Arts, OMBRE (Pink to Red), which is what I also stamped the sentiment JAVA NICE DAY in. I then broke out my water colors with a slight shimmer to them and added the coloring of the frappe cups and straws. I'm loving how the water colors turned out...kind of reminds me of the Unicorn drinks that Starbucks was selling a while back. I then die cut a small piece of pink twin and tied it into a little bow and adhered it to the sentiment.

Well, there you have it. This layout came together quick for me. It's a simple card that looks like I spent a lot of time doing. The best layouts and cards aren't always the once that take hours or days.
