I don't have any coffee themed stamps, but really wanted to join in the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Then it dawned on me--use my paper towels! I cut out 3 sections & attached them to a kraft panel with Gel Medium. When it dried I used Tim Holtz splatters stencil with Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate & then brushed on Goosebumps. I thought some summery PTI leaves (Turning A New Leaf) would be a great element to add. The stamps were inked with Aqua Mist & a bit of Hawaiian Shores on the edges, spritzed with water & stamped on the die cuts that had been spritzed. I also wanted to play along in the PTI MIM challenge, so I took out my Crystal Laquer (like Glossy Accents) to give Betsy's technique a try. I need more practice, but it was fun & does look like dewdrops. I added a tag & sentiment from PTI Tiny Tags with some cotton floss. My watercolored leaves let me also add this to the PPP Watercolor Blog Hop. Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog. Edited to add: Also entering the June challenge at Verve.
