Happy Coffee

Thanks to sponsor Nikki at Limited Runs for this nutty image - is that really what we look like before we get to our morning coffee?  Get it here:  limitedrunsstamps-morning coffee cup

Image: Limited Runs

Coloured with PaperPiecing and Copics
Happy stamp: Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz
Also: DistressInks, white pigment pen, bakers twine

I masked the top half and dragged D'inks down the bottom half of the card like ombre, and spritzed.  The cup is printed on patt. paper and printer paper.  Eyes and teeth applied, coffee coloured, cup etc shaded.  Edges inked, tied with twine (coffee holds us together sometimes!), little dots of white added.  The happy is only inked on half of a stamp that says happy halloween.
