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.
