Coffee Talk Background

Happy Wednesday!

It's the second Wednesday of the month which means it's time for a new release at Heartfelt Creations! This month they have the Coffee Talk Collection!

It's the beverage that starts our mornings, chases our mid day slumps away, and in the evenings has us gather around the table to enjoy and partake in laughter and light hearted banter, to share treasured memories and deepest dreams and to encourage one another in meaningful friendships...and now we invite you to our table to warm your hands, hearts and souls with the fresh brewed designs of the Coffee Talk Collection by Heartfelt Creations! Capture and relive those precious moments spent around the kitchen table, or favorite cafe with family and friends shared over the simple pleasure of a cup of coffee, latte, or cappuccino. The charming and delightful illustrations of coffee mugs, barista style chalkboard sentiments and gorgeous patterns in variations of blues, creams and mochas are the perfect blend to get your creative senses percolating, and will allow you to espresso your style perfectly! The delectable card fronts and dreamy patterned scrapbook pages are splendid for sending well wishes or for displaying those fun and silly selfies taken in the back corner of your favorite coffee shop with your inner circle of friends! Whether you enjoy your cuppa java black, with cream, milk or sugar, instant or made from freshly ground coffee beans, the Coffee Talk Collection will provide you with the perfect fusion of flavors for all of your paper crafting concoctions.

I used the Coffee Talk Background Set for my card this week and added a second layer of the coffee cup and spoon using the Coffee Talk Set.

The images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and the cup and spoon were added on top of the background image using Scotch Mounting Tape.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see the beautiful creations by the designers this week! Lots of fun coffee projects! Emma Lou also has a video showing you how to make a coffee cup shaped card and a quick coloring technique she uses.

I'm submitting this to the following Challenge:

Word Art Wednesday #213 - Anything Goes
Power & Spark Rewind - Pencil Me In

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!

Blessings!
