Coffee and Friends are a Perfect Blend

I just love me a nice cup of coffee - are you a coffee lover or prefer a nice cup of tea ?  I like both but especially love coffee in the mornings.   I knew as soon as I saw this set of stamps from Lil Inkers Designs that I just had to have both the stamp set and matching dies.  I'm so pleased with them and can see me using them a lot in the future. 

The new challenge starting today over on I ♥ Promarkers has the theme 'Dots and Stripes' and this weeks prize is sponsored by Joanna Sheen. 

I've used my new stamps and dies together with kraft card from a Papermania 12 x 12 pack and some dotty paper from my stash.  I created the layer under the image using a scrap of kraft card and small lengths of ribbon, which I attached with staples to make stripes.  The image is coloured with Promarkers and was stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

I cut the image layer out using a nestie, then distressed the edges with Old Paper Distress Ink.  The sentiment is from the stamp set and makes this card perfect to send to one of my pals. 

 Hope you've enjoyed today's card, thanks for dropping by.
