Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop



Today I am participating in my first Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I am playing along as part of the STAMPlorations Team. Shery has a lot of new coffee stamps and dies in her shop - you can find
them here.  Shery has donated some prizes for Amy's CLBH blog and will also be giving prizes of a $10 gift certificate and 2 stamp sets from the STAMPlorations blog.

I used the new STAMPlorations Framed: Coffee and Books stamp:


The sentiment is from an old set (company unknown to me) - and I think it describes me perfectly lately!  I used a watercolored background that I already had and stamped the image with Versafine Onyx Black and the MISTI. I stamped it several times to get a good impression on the rough watercolor paper. I adhered that image to another watercolored background (which was actually created by reverse stenciling with Distress Inks and a ARTplorations stencil). That panel was mounted on black card stock and then adhered to the card base.

Thanks for stopping by!

    That's a cool image of the proverbial coffee mug and a stack of books, Harriet! They go together so well and look stunning against your cool watercolored background!! Hugs, Darnell

    Coffee and a good mystery novel (Louise Penny's in particular) sound like an excellent pairing! LOVE your card, Harriet...warm and inviting (unlike the MINUS 32C temperatures we're having here)...

    Coffee (or tea) are perfect with a favorite book..by the fire! I love how you mounted your image over your artsy watercolor stenciled background. TFS my friend. Hugs, Nancy
