Belated birthday coffee card & tutorial.

Sometimes we need a belated birthday card. This one is cute and funny with a little pun in there.


Sentiment:  Happy birthday a little latte.

This is a mix of stamping, die-cuts and watercolor.

Watercolor coffee background tutorial:
To get the look of coffee as a background, apply distress ink heavily where needed onto watercolor paper.  I used Ranger Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink pad and applicator.
Use a spray mister and spray water onto the inked paper.
Let dry and trim or die-cut as needed.

I snapped a photo during this process and before trimming.
