Coffee and Friends

Sometimes there are cards you can only make for fellow crafters, you know the ones I mean that use techniques or supplies that a non-crafter won't appreciate like this card. I am sure a non-crafter would look at the coffee stains on the background and think I had put my cup down whilst I was making it and was too lazy to start again where a crafter sees the deliberate attempt to look like an accident lol. I have wanted to make this card for a while but I wasn't sure it would work like I wanted it to and I had to be in just the right frame of mind, sometimes the planets just align and everything goes exactly as you planned, no cards were thrown out during the making of this card, a minor miracle in itself.

So I hear you ask exactly what did I do to make this card, well there was some copic colouring (no surprise there) a few blueprints and a bit of paper piecing (again no surprise) but then no patterned paper (hang on, hold the phone) and I used a stencil to ink with, well I ask you what is the world coming to.

Hopefully the recipient who is a very dear friend will like the end result as much as I enjoyed making it for her, so in case she is reading this and got to the end, A very Happy Birthday Jane x
