COFFEE & FRIENDS

Instructions

1. Create a 3“ x 5” landscape gray card base, and set aside for later.

2. Using a pencil and ruler draw three rectangles on to a 2 ¾” x 4 ¾” panel of white cardstock.

3. Stamp an image from the Coffee Love set in each rectangle using black ink.

4. Use the matching Coffee Love dies to cut masks from masking paper or sticky notes and lay them over the three images.

5. Using painter’s tape, block off the rectangles and use an ink blender to blend ink onto the backgrounds of each rectangle. Use Blush, Evening Gray, and Warm Sunshine ink.

6. Lift the painter’s tape and masks and erase the pencil lines.

7. Simply color the images. To give a retro style don’t use shading to give a flat look.

8. Align the sentiment spanning two of the ink blended rectangles and stamp in black ink.

9. Add the panel to the gray card base using foam tape.
