Graciellie Design & Summer Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop – Lots of Inspiration & Prizes

I had the awesome invitation to sponsor the Summer Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop today and of course I had to join the fun! If it’s your first time visiting, welcome! I am Gracie Chavez owner and creative designer of Graciellie Design Digital Shop and Blog. The design team and I are excited to have this awesome chance and we are sharing lots of project ideas using cute tea cups and fun sentiments! We also have a special release to celebrate the blog hop and it is the cutest tea cup set you’ll ever find! It’s called Sweet Tea and it comes with this adorable kitten in a tea cup image plus 5 fun sentiments!

I made a colorful card, to go along with the Summer theme for the hop, although I’ve been into Summer colors lately anyways! I printes my cute image twice, once in toner and another one in ink jet. I foiled the toner printed images using a Minc and Gold Sequins Fancy Foil. I then fussy cut only the tea cup from the foiled image and colored it with Passionate Pink Premium Dye Ink with the help of a sponge dauber. Then I fussy cut the image printed in black, with a regular inkjet printer, and added a little shading with a light beige Spectrum Noir marker, and colored the eyes in green too. I then put together both pieces mounting the kitten on top of the tea cup for a dimensional look!

The fun background was splattered with metallic gold acrylic paint and inked with Passionate Pink Premium Dye Ink. I added a border on one of the edges of the background with black corrugated cardstock and a piece of patterned paper.

To finish off my card I added a foiled sentiment printed on vellum from the new stamp set (which I think is so cute!), using coordinating Passionate Pink Fancy Foil, and a scrapbooking element with a piece of metallic gold ribbon that simulate a tea bag hanging from the cup!
