here is my java card:
I'm excited to be the guest designer this week! I don't actually know much about coffee since I don't drink it. For the coffee in my card I embosed the "cream" in clear and then sponged it with photo, twigs and walnut distress inks. For the mug I cut a whole bunch of the 2 circles and glued the rings together and added the handle. For the sentiment I looked through a LOT of different sets and found this one in a Technique Tuesday set. I used it because cream lightens up coffee.
Hi Kate thank you for joining us as our guest designer this week. I love your java themed card. You did so well for someone who doesn;t drink coffee.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you as GD this week! Love, Momxx

ReplyDeleteThat coffee is ALIVE on that bold blue! Wow! I love this, Kate!!! So happy you could join us as guest designer! :)
ReplyDeleteKate - I've been a fan of your mom's cards for a while now, and in just discovering your blog - which is delightful, by the way - I'll be a fan of yours, too! Your card, with its layered 'cup', sponged 'coffee' and heart-shaped 'lightener' - is sheer brilliance paired with amazing prettiness! Awesome inspiration! Way to go, Kate - soooo impressive!

Kate, that is exactly how I feel about my morning cup of coffee...it might as well have a heart in it because I love it so, and it does lighten up my life! (I agree, the cream does lighten the coffee, too, and I add a lot!) I love the "view from above" perspective on your card, I admire how you think outside the box! Your colors are fabulous, too...I must remember to pair browns with blues sometime, they look wonderful together! So happy to have you guest designing with us this week at CASology!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic design, Kate ... looking down on the sweet heart of cream on top of the delicious looking coffee! Love the background blue ... such a great colour combo with the coffee! Congratulations on your GD spot! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is an amazing card Kate! I love how clever you were at making the cup of coffee and I love the heart "cream" in the coffee. That sentiment is amazing and I can't believe you got the coffee looking like real coffee. I'm not a coffee lover either and just don't get what all the fuss is over coffee. lol Congrats on your GD spot!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWow, Kate, for someone who doesn't drink coffee, you really hit it spot on!! Love the view from the top and the embossed "cream" heart!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card!!
Congratulations on being the guest designer Kate! This is an excellent "java" card (and that's coming from a coffee lover!).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this very awesome coffee card Kate! I love the depth that you created with the stacked top of the cup, the embossed frothy heart and the oh so clever sentiment. I am a coffee drinker and coffee lightens up my day :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Guest Designer!! You created a wonderful card here, especially the shading and blending for your coffee. I know your Mom is very proud of you ... I am too!! Keep up the great work, Kate!
