Sending you a latte love - part 3

http://sassyrubberartists.com

A classic color combo for a love/valentine card to pop into November’s Operation Write Home box. (Sometimes if I look sideways at this card, I see Santa lurking around the corner…must be the color scheme and then the scalloped circles could be Santa’s curly beard. Yep, I definitely need caffeine LOL.)

This lovely latte cup from Deedee’s Digis was paper pieced. My cup at work looks like this (a little taller though). A pretty red and white polka dot outside and a solid white inside. Since the entire image was paper pieced, the only Copics I used were for shading. Did you know you can use your Copics on patterned paper? I used C3, C1, and C0 to help define the cup’s curves and a little R000 and C0 for the heart. The background on the main image and sentiment piece was sponged with Memento Angel Pink while still in the die. I made two cards with this design (seven down, five still to come).

This card qualifies for:

    Don’t ask me to choose a favorite. i love all three. you’re on a roll. You’re also a genius! I never thought to use patterned paper and shade with Copics. Great idea, and time saver. There’s “a latte work” in these cards. Especially no. 2 I know the troops will appreciate all your hard work so that they may send a beautiful card to a loved one. I’m sure you’er the no. 1 donor to OWH.

    Oh my. Now that’s really lovely missy. The touch of shading on the DP adds just the right “something-something”. And the heart blocks embossing is perfect! Another happy recipeint is in the bag!
