Sometimes that's all it takes, a simple cuppa with a friend.  A hug in a mug.

Here I used a tag, a sketch and a coffee theme.

The tag is inked with 3 colours of Distress Ink, spritzed, dabbed, and a wet lid put on in several places to leave a ring.  The image is stamped on directly, slightly off the edge.   Along one side,  I masked and stamped a pattern in gold versicolor, then a border in HeroArts "cup o' joe". While the mask was still in place I misted with Walnut Ink.  The hollow words are filled with gold pen and a little dot in the centre of each COFFEE letter.  HUG is cut out tightly and attached with some scraps of gauze left from a previous project. Sequins added and some dark and light brown ribbon.

Coffee & Hug Stamps: Hero Arts
Pattern & border stamps: Kaisercraft
Inks: Distress Inks, Hero Arts, Versafine
Also: sequins, gauze, gold pen, ribbons
