Coffee Coasters

Hello there :)

I'm over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today sharing something a little different.... I've decorated a couple of MDF coasters using the Coffee Love and Coffee Talk stamp sets from Altenew...

I used a couple of shades of chalk paint on the coasters then distressed the edges with fine sandpaper before stamping out the images and text. I used a simple colour scheme that will go perfectly in our lounge.... when we finally get round to decorating it.... haha :)

The images are stamped in Versafine ink (which I had to double stamp so thank goodness for the MISTI) and when that was all dry, I sponged colour onto the coffee pots and cup. The beans are stamped with a grey Versafine ink.... I love how they both turned out :)

I left them for a couple of days before giving them a coat of varnish so as not to smear any ink, it's a dead flat varnish so they keep their matt chalky finish :)

I just love the style of images in the coffee set.... It would be really good if the same illustrator could produce a similar set based on wine and other such beverages :)

Thanks for stopping by :)
