Hi friends! I'm hosting the technique challenge at Just Us Girls this week and I've challenged you to *kiss* with a twist! Splitcoaststampers has an easy to follow tutorial for you HERE.
I selected the solid coffee mug image from MTME's Fancy A Cuppa set and the two larger individual daisy stamps for the technique. This gave me a nice, large surface to twist my daisies ;] I embossed my entire mug after I finished stamping...to give it that enamel look. My sentiment, "Miss you a latte" is from the MTME Grab A Cup Sentiments set. I thought it was perfect with my lone, hanging empty mug...symbolizing the fact that there was nobody to share a latte with :[ I tied it off with some beige hemp twine that I recolored with a dark blue Copic. I layered two daisies that I stamped in navy, cut out, fastened with a brad and adhered to the triple looped hemp twine.
My daisy paper is a sheet from the MTME Coffee Beans pack that I recolored to match my mug. I also added a strip of Fresh Fabric - Collection 1 navy paper for the strip I used to hold my grommets and tie off my twine. See the slightly curled top right, and bottom left corners? I totally channeled Julee Tilman on those little pretties! I LOVE how she adds a curled corner to her cards...it really gives it a little something extra. So, I gave it a go :] My layout was inspired by the Card Positioning System sketch #217. It was perfect for hanging my mug after I flipped the sketch!
Well, that's all I have to share today, but our awesome DT has a lot more ispiration for you! Check em out:

I LOVE this a latte! LOVE, love, love it! Such stunning showcase for this terrific technique, my dear! Thanks for ALWAYS being the technical genius you ARE!{How did you WRANGLE those pesky photos? Sheesh!} I LOVE your style, baby! HAVE a wonderful weekend! xoxoxo!
Seriously?!?! As if the fantastic kissing technique weren't enough to send this card completely over the top, the embossing surely does!!! Your faux enamel look REALLY looks like enamel!!! I though that the minute I saw it on the JUGS site! Wow, wow, and WOW!!! Especially in the soft green and blue - it looks just like an antique china mug!!! STUN-NING!!!! LOVE THIS to itty, bitty pieces!!! Thanks for a fun and fabulous challenge friend!
Beautiful card and the sentiment is perfect.
This is so sweet, Kristin! I LOVE how you hung your mug from the twine bow at the top!
that is why?
