It is the second half of the month meaning group B at Once Upon A ... Sketch have revealed their work done with the sketch by Nadia Cannizzo...
Our journalling theme for the month is "Totally Addicted to..." I did not need to think twice to know that I had to scrap my addiction to coffee...GOOD coffee....Decent coffee...Beautiful coffee... You get my drift?
I am in total awe of a beautiful presented coffee, be it a Latte, Cappuccino, Espresso...Love the foam art presented at some restaurants and when I am spoiled with a beautiful and interesting cup and saucer...I'm in coffee heaven!!!
I tried my hand at the amazing style of Georgia Heald as per her tutorial at Pop and Colours 2 that I am following. I had so much fun at layering and texturing with different mediums... could get used to this kind of work!
I used the following inks and mists. From Lindy's Stampgang: Cape Coral Cod, Gregasious Grey and Steampunk Sepia. Distress Paints: Wild Honey. I used the Mini Tiny Circles mask from The Crafters Workshop with Black Embossing Paste. For the white masking I use Bubbles from the Tim Holtz Collection.
A piece of Wood Icon from Prima coloured with some stains.
The strip of paper was punched and rolled to add some interest and dimension to it.
A few strips of distressed lace and some stitching...
The resin key from Prima was distressed with Wild Honey, Antiqued Bronze and Black Soot Distress Paint. The large baubles are also from Prima.
Thank you for your visit...keep me in mind the next time you are having a delightful cuppa!!!!
and by the coffee.
