love you more than coffee card and tutorial {neat and tangled}

Hi there!

It's release week over at Neat and Tangled, and I have a card and a photo tutorial to share with you today.

We're showing off Perfect Blend, a coffee themed set designed by May. When she designed it, she probably didn't envision I'd use it like this:

I couldn't help but use my little deer girl, from Lumberjack Love and the travel mug image from Perfect Blend to create a fun little image.



I prepared a little step-by-step to show you how I achieved this look:

Stamp the coffee cup, but wipe off some ink on both sides where you will draw in the hands.

Stamp the coffee cup onto masking paper (or a post-it note) and cover the stamped cup image. Then, ink up the girl's head, carefully wipe off the ink from her deer ears/antlers and stamp her peering over the top of the cup.

Clean off the girl stamp (so you don't mess up the head area you just stamped.) Then, ink up only her feet and stamp down under the cup. I used post-its to block off the sides, so her skirt wouldn't show.

Remove the masks, and you're almost done! It's time to carefully fill in the missing parts.

Use a copic multi-liner pen (my tip was a 0.3 thickness.) If you're nervous about using a pen straight onto the paper, pencil in your lines and then trace them with the pen. You can easily erase the pencil lines afterwards.

On my card, I added other elements from Perfect Blend: the string of heart steam, and the lines to ground the image.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the Neat and Tangled blog this morning - click!
