Coffee ... Priceless

My card today is inspired by both the sketch and picture at the current Fusion Card Challenge - Coffee.

I inked-up two of my Technique Junkies Coffee stamps - Cups 'n Mugs and Coffee Barcode (2 must-have stamps if you're a coffee stamp collector like me) - in coffee-colored Versafine Clair Acorn Ink ... remember, you can get 10% off those stamps and anything else you purchase from the Technique Junkies store using my discount code TJ10Stephanie.

I cut the background stamp in half and added the border (inspired by the color of the notebook in the photo) between the pieces and the Coffee Barcode Sentiment mounted on foam tape.

I finished by adding some gold metal circle embellishments to the centers of the flowers on several of the Coffee Cups.

Vintage Floral Collage Thank Yous

I love this gorgeous Vintage Floral Collage Stamp ... it is so lovely and versatile.  Remember, you get 10% off your entire order at the Technique Junkies Store with my discount code TJ10Stephanie.

For the first stamping I used Seedless Preserves and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Ink and my MISTI.

Next, I cut it into a 4" circle for this week's Sketch from The Paper Players.

I paired it with coordinating cardstock, a paper flower and the Grunge Thank You Sentiment.  

I had another circle sketch in my feed from Sunday Sketch Challenge, stamped Vintage Floral Collage a second time using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink with some Seedless Preserves.  This time I cut a 3" circle for the sketch.

This time I added a Thank You from Simple Sentiments Style B and finished with some sequins.

I hope you'll look at your background stamps to see how you can highlight sections for some of this week's fun sketch challenges.

Don't forget about the TJ Sketch challenge! All of the April Issue entries are due in May 15th, based on the sketch in the newsletter and online. My card above uses the sketch with the Torn Frames Technique from the December 2008 issue of the TJ Newsletter.  I can't wait to see YOURS!
