We all have at least one coffee lover in our family, I confess, I'm one and my sister is too, so what better way to send comforting hugs than with a bundle of coffee beans?
I started with some smooth brown cardstock, a coffee bean background stamp (details & link below), some Espresso Truffle ink and my MISTI, then gave them an inky workout. This stamp is a new one, so it took a few inkings to get a good even coverage and it was very handing having my MISTI to repeat stamp the image perfectly. I trimmed the image panel down to 5 3/4" square.
I die cut the letters (warm) and hugs sentiment (details & links below) several times using the same brown cardstock. I inked one set to make the top layer of my "warm hugs" sentiment. I layered the sentiment together to give an offset dimension and contrast then adhered them in place on the stamped panel. Unfortunately they didn't contrast as much as I expected, so I added a delicate golden sparkle with a Wink Of Stella glitter brush, it's still subtle but much better in real life. It sure is hard to photograph though, that glitter catches the light and sparkles.
