I decided that this bed reminded me of a bed and breakfast I love in St. Augustine, FL. There, we were served breakfast in bed and that included the BEST coffee I have EVER had.
So....I was INSPIRED to use this new set from Flourishes! I LOVE this coffee cup and the awesome flourish! (Speedy the Cat LOVES the steam...He ran off with it right after I finished stamping it...I'll find it under the Bath Mat later, I hope! LOL!
Since I was reminded of coffee...and I grind my own beans...I decided to take a photo of the beans and make a Packing Tape Photo Transfer* to use as a designer paper. (* See below for the tutorial info!)
I stamped the red background tone on tone with Flourishes Damask. Next, I stamped the STEAM in black and added highlights with an Inkssentials gel pen.
Next, I stamped the image on turquoise and mustard card stock and then cut out the images and layered them with dimensionals. (I also stamped the image on the designer paper...I don't like cutting out that handle! LOL!)
The sentiment is from Flourishes...I cut out some of the words and rearranged the sentiment so that it would fit into the ovals! (Ovals made with Spellbinders' Nestibilities.)
The dots were added with marker and Inkssentials Gel Pen.
