The Card Concept is Back!

Hi Everyone and welcome back to The Card Concept's card challenge blog.
We're starting back with a fun colorful challenge - check it out below.

My clean and simple card was inspired by the fun rainbow of colors. I chose to make my rainbow go vertical and onto some to-go cups of coffee. I started back to work this week after 4 months off and knew my first day was going to be a long one. I don't drink coffee but I definitely drank a lot of tea.

I started with a piece of watercolor paper and a stamp I found in a dollar bin at Michaels. Using Catherine Pooler's Midnight ink I stamped the image in the center first, covered it with a mask and then stamped one on either side. Next I grabbed my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers (I'll list the colors below), added some stripes of color and blended them with a water brush. Once it dried I added some splashes of water and dabbed it with a paper towel. I love the look of water spots on watercolor cards.

I used a couple different grey markers to add shading on the lids and below the cups.

The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti's For The Love Of Latte stamp set. I stamped it with Midnight ink and popped the 'coffee' up with craft foam to give the card some dimension. I used a sponge and some more Midnight ink to go around all the edges.

I look forward to seeing you in the gallery.
