Retro Coffee

You know when you buy a stamp set with an idea in mind how to use it?? Well I got round to putting it into ink and card and I'm so pleased how it worked out :)

I know... it's quite bright but that's what the retro style dictates and distress oxide inks give it a fabulous chalky matt texture too. I used the dies first to make masks before adding my colour blocks then purposefully stamped the images off-set for that iconic look.

I added detail to the coffee pot using a simple diamond shaped mask before adding the colour, then used the negative part to make black diamonds on top of the orange ink.

Great quote too although some would say it's never to early for wine but that's a whole different debate ;)

This card also features on the Seven Hills Crafts blog with a couple of 'extra how' to photos :)

Thanks for stopping by :)
