Friendship Perks...
  Hello and welcome!  Today's card features a fun set from SimonSaysStamp (what's brewing) and watercoloring using Distress inks (gathered twigs, vintage photo, ground espresso).  To start I die cut the cup twice using Distress water color paper and and MFT's Cherry Crisp cardstock (heart), ink blended Distress inks.  I then die cut a stitched rectangle panel also using Distress water color paper. I applied a wash of water to panel then flicked Distress inks.  I allowed the panel to air dry almost completely allowing the ink to move across and mix, then give a blast of heat at the end to help set the colors.  Once dry, I flicked another layer of color but this time used a damp brush allowing the color to be more opaque.  Next, I die cut circle, stamped images, then ink blended.  Next, I stamped sentiment using matching ink to red card stock and trimmed into banner, then ink blended both banners.  To finish, I attached sentiment to panel; adhered circle; adhered to card base; adhered cup using fun foam; and finally added glossy accents to "coffee".  Thanks so much for stopping by...take care!  Please note: this card has been submitted to the the "Fall 2016 Coffeeloving Card Markers Blog Hop".
