Hi, everyone! My card today combines the Technique Lover's Challenge (coffee painting) and the Clean and Simple Challenge (use banners). My background was created by using the ink, spray and smash technique with a bit of caramel ink and lots of instant coffee granules. After the panel was dry, the silhouette from 'Brother in Christ' was stamped in black and the panel was cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies set. The sentiment was cut out with the ODBD Custom Large Banners Dies, using the die re-sizing technique to make the banner shorter. Across the top is a strand of embroidery floss....the six strands were un-woven from the thread and stretched separately across. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

This is a favorite image of mine. I noticed it the other day in the ODBD store. I have a quite old rubber stamp by 100 Proof Press which is the exact image only it is larger and has more children. I'm thinking ODBD must have purchased the image. Anyway, it is absolutely delightful and using the coffee granules with your smooshed background goes perfectly with it.

I love the shades of brown you got with your ink and coffee! The stamps couldn't be better to go with that sentiment! I am so calmed by this card! Wonderful!

I love the coffee bg and that wonderful image. Putting the words on the banner is fab!
