This card was made for the current challenge at Impression Obsession - Coffee, Tea, or Me? It ended up with so many layers... I didn't have a plan from the start, and it took a few unexpected turns during the process. I started with several stamped images in grey on a white watercolor panel, then used a stencil brush to create a gradient of brown inks then stenciled over that. Next I think I stamped the Starburst background in Versamark and used PanPastels to highlight that, but the color was wayyy darker than I realized... I stamped the mug... masked off the top and stamped the steam in Versamark, embossed it with white powder and let the powder stick to some of the rays in the background for some contrast. I masked a line across the bottom to create a table top, then darkened the area with a Zig marker. I used white acrylic paint to add a highlight to the mug, then used black and white colored pencils to add more highlights and shading.
