What'sBrewing

Hello everyone!

Today I’m sharing a card that I love a lot… I love this dark rich brown and this tone of blue to go with. I must say that the star of the show here are again my favorite and versatile papers. Every time I peruse those papers I find something perfect to go with whatever I’m doing at the time :). For this card I created a really busy and involving study/research work environment… of course coffee had to be present in such place. I water colored the mug “inside and outside” with Distress markers and gold Ecoline respectively. To give the idea of transparent glass I removed some of the previous water coloring and added just a little bit of very diluted white Ecoline; also used a white gel pen to accent the border of the mug. The pattern paper in the bg is from an invitation to my sister’s school anniversary that I kept for “just” nine years, because it's beautiful… and also because I knew I would use it some day :).

I’m entering three challenges:
