Rule the world!

Today I was going through my emails and came across a couple of challenges that were all about coffee and they made me want to have a large cup but since I’ve started this new health kick I’m off caffeine (shock horror) so the next best thing was to make a card with a cup and dream about how delicious it might taste!

I used a retired digital image from Stampin Up called “Perfect Blend – Coffee & Friends ” which I printed directly to scraps of DSP which I then fussy cut out and added to a background piece I made with some ink smooshing on watercolour paper to simulate spilt coffee.

I’m entering this card over at the following challenges:

Thanks for looking and think of me trying to stay strong and not giving in to the coffee urge!

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

  5. Well you’ll have to let me know how that health kick goes, Tristan. I can’t imagine leaving coffee behind. Especially first thing in the morning. Love the enormous coffee “stain”. What a way to set the stage! Great use of those bits of DSP for the lid and girdle, too. I can’t help but grin at that wonderful sentiment. After my first (or second) cup, I definitely begin to feel that way. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

  7. Wow, brave girl Tristan. I admire that your were able to give up the brew. But good on you for doing a coffee themed card despite of your lack of caffeine. Good mix of image and papers for this terrific card. Thanks so much for sharing at the Watercooler Wednesday Masculine card challenge this week.
