LIM and CoffeeLovers

To start, I have a super quick card for this week's challenge at Less is More, #306 One layer - Outlines


I stamped the alphabet border stamp by Hero Arts onto Neenah desert storm cardstock using Versafine sepia ink, and then coloured in the h and i using a blue glitter gel pen. To finish off, I rounded one of the corners using my corner chomper.

Next up, I have a tag for 2 recurring events: the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop and Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags for Christmas with a Feminine Twist. My tag was inspired by the theme of day 5 (Frozen) and the sketch of day 7.


Using a die from Lil' Inker Design, I cut the tag from white cardstock (Neenah) and striped vellum (Papertrey Ink). I used a Copic marker to colour my white tag and the cups, which is from a digital set by Verve Stamps, provided for free for the current CoffeeLovers blog hop. I fussy cut the cups and layered them on my vellum tag. The sentiment (by Clear Impressions from a set that came as a free gift with a stamping magazine) was stamped using black archival ink, and silver fibres came from my stash. As a finishing touch, I added a little festive sparkle to my cups using a Spectrum Noir clear glitter marker.



I'm also linking my tag up at Sparkles Christmas Challenges - 71 Anything but a card

    Lovely work Marianne! Your card for our outlines challenge is perfectly CAS and full of impact with the letters set against the empty space. Love how you coloured the h and i to create a sentiment. Fab! Thanks for playing along with us at Less is More :)
