Birthday Brew card by Guest Designer Anni Lerche


I am back again with another card as a guest designer for Newton’s Nook Designs.

On my last post I mentioned that there are some images I can’t get by: Snowmen, foxes and COFFEE! I am sure you all know this super cute set called Newton Loves Coffee. For my card today I used this sweet set.

I stamped the images with Memento ink on Strathmore Bristol smooth cardstock. This is my favorite paper for coloring with colored pencils. I chose a warm grey, a coral pink and an aqua color and colored the images in shades of these colors. I added some highlights with a white gel pen and a little bit of Glossy Accents. I fussy cut the cat and all the cups.

Then I die cut a stitched rectangle from white cardstock. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in dark brown embossing powder. To create a “floor” for Newton to sit on I added a little bit of ink blending through a stencil. After adhering all the images to that panel I found the card needed some darker accents. So I stamped and heat embossed some coffee beans with the same embossing powder I used for the sentiment.

I chose a light grey card base and assembled the card. For a finishing touch I added some sequins! Hope you like my card! Thanks for stopping by! See you next week!
