Tim's Tag for June features a cool coffee cup and a fun plaid background. I ended up with two very different projects inspired by Tim's tag.
I loved the plaid background on Tim's tag and had two new ink pads that I wanted to play with. I used them to create my plaid background.
I sponged on the two colors in one direction and then flipped the stencil and sponged the next direction. To grunge it up I sponged on Vintage Photo around the edges and sprinkled the distress ink across the surface.
I decided to use the seahorses with the layering stencil doily background and abandoned coral. For the card I had a request from my son to create a coffee themed card for his girlfriend's birthday. I had one coffee cup die cut and used it for the card. My coffee cup is inspired in design by Tim's tag.
I added a birthday candle for the straw and had to hand cut my plastic cover but I like the transition to a birthday celebration.
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, WOW!!! I ABSOLUTELY adore that seahorse version Suzanne!!! And what a clever idea for the coffee cup. It looks such fun. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Suzz, the seahorses are very striking especially with the added stencilling and the colour is so vibrant. Love your backdrop and I love the coffee cup too. Fabulous makes. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteGreat card Suzz and that tag is really something wonderful. I just love seahorses, my favourite underwater creature and yours are fabulous with the pattern on them. I really love these colours together too, a gorgeous summer tag! :)
ReplyDeleteLove both of these but esp the seahorses :).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea using the doily stencil to colour the seahorses! I love their pattern, it's quite realistic! Lovely colours!
