Snarky Fall Coffee Card

Sara Emily Barker https://sarascloset1.blogspot.com/ Fall Coffee Card Tim Holtz Tea Time Steampunk Parts Abandoned Paper Stash 1

I've been seeing all the fabulous coffee cards for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, and since I AM a coffee lover, I felt I should play along with at least one card.

I used Tim Holtz Abandoned paper stash for the background, and a Tea Time Bigz die cut from kraft card. I colored it with Peeled Paint and Evergreen Bough oxides, and blended with Vintage Photo ink. The steam is from the Cauldron Bigz die; I cut it twice each from white card and a patterned paper scrap. Both are blended with Old Paper and Vintage Photo inks and layered.

I thought this gent from the Halloween Paper Dolls went perfectly with the Snarky Small Talk sticker.

The rusty hex bolts and washers are from the Steampunk Parts Bigz die, cut from Metallic Kraft Stock and painted with Black Soot paint and DecoArt Q-gold. To pick up on the metallic embellishment, I decided to mat the panel with black card and Metallic 2 Kraft Stock sanded and painted with the same colors.

Lastly a splattering of Carved Pumpkin to hint at my favorite coffee--Pumpkin Spice Latte. It seems I'm not alone in my choice of flavors. What's your favorite coffee drink?
