I tell you, my memory must be full because I can never remember what I used for a technique, even if I just did it!!!! Maybe I'm already thinking about the next technique???
This if for today's TLC, hosted by moi, a watercolor OSW. Maybe I used Distress inks, maybe I used SU reinkers. I let the colors mix a bit too much. This is a fun technique that yields extra backgrounds...check it out!
This is also for today's CAS-some kind of beverage. I'm sort of late to the coffee drinking party, I don't think I really liked it until I was in my 30's. My mother loved coffee and I loved the smell of it. First time using these three stamps from a CS set. My coffee in the French Press looks too weak, I'd better add another layer or five. Thanks, Lisa!

Lovely look from the gilding flakes. The sound of the coffe grinder was always the start of the morning when I was growing up, and on family picnics the stovetop moka pot full and ready to go was as important as the frying pan, but I didn't start drinking it till my late teens. I enjoy it, but I can take it or leave it.

This card is a stunning card! Love the colors you used. I didn’t start on coffee until my kids were in school, and now I can just leave it..... Well done on your card.

Inspiring technique. I love this coffee centric card as I love a fresh brewed cup of java. French press makes a fantastic cup of coffee. I am off with a broken right arm but excited as I think I can make some panels like this with my left and create the cards when I recover. Trying to pass the time cruisin' through SCS.

What gorgeous colors for your watercolor panel, very pretty and vibrant. Love that sentiment, cracked me up! And I agree, the coffee in the press is definitely too weak!
