Love You More than Coffee

Oh, hi!  Yep. . .still motoring along with Valentine's Day cards.  I have so.many.ideas.  For this particular card, I wanted to try and make it a little bit more neutral and masculine, which was a bit of a challenge for me, because . . .well, I love pink and hearts for Valentine's Day.

Anyway, here's the card:

Oh, I did a bit of masking, ink blending, Copic coloring, paper piecing, heat embossing . . .yep, I pretty much did a little bit of everything.

I started out by creating a mask with one of the Stacking Hearts Honey Cuts. I die-cut it from scratch paper and then used Zig Two-Way Glue on the back.  I set it off to the side to dry because by doing that, it becomes repositionable.

Next, I arranged a few of the coffee sentiments from the Perfect Blend stamp set onto an acrylic block, put the mask in place on a piece of Desert Storm Card Stock and randomly stamped the sentiments with VersaMark ink.

I covered that with detail white embossing powder and heat set it until it was nice and shiny.  Once it was cooled off enough, I put the mask back in place and did some ink blending using Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, and Fired Brick Distress Oxide inks.

I stamped the coffee cup twice using Chocolate Brown Hybrid Ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock and colored them up with my Copics.  Yep, I did some fussy cutting, too.

Oh, but for the heart in the middle of the coffee. . .I wanted it to be foamy, so I coated it with Glossy Accents and then used White Puff Embossing Powder.

You can see how it all came together in the video:
