Dina Kowal Creative: Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!
It's time for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, and I'm so excited to be a Super Sponsor again! Keep reading to find out how you can win these 3 art prints, and receive a special coupon code for my online store! You can find these and more in my store HERE!
I made a card for today's hop without any real plan... I think this one was meant for me, because I've been a little overwhelmed this week - our oven went out, my in-laws are on the way here, my oldest hasn't been feeling well, and I've had an additional work load with a painting in progress and card samples due for the Mixed Media show next month. All that to say... it felt good to pour some art out and process a little. Acckkk!
This teapot stamp is from my own line of stamps at Impression Obsession - you can see all my designs HERE, and if you hurry you can take advantage of their 25% discount code - it's only good through Sunday (6/25)! You'll find all the details on their home page.
I started with a white matboard square, stamping the background image in a light shade. I stamped the silhouette image then added some highlights and shading with pencils - the highlights were done with a white Coloursoft pencil, and the deep shadows and counter surface were done using Inktense pencils.
My base panel is from a file of gel prints and other papers I've used to clean my brayer - it's got some fun copper tones in it that play well with the blue of the tea pot.
For a chance to win prizes in our hop this week, you have to play along! Head over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog for all the details, and to link up your spring coffee, tea, or cocoa themed project!
One lucky winner will receive one of my handmade coffee art pendants for participating this week - You can find these and more coffee (and other!) themed gifts in my online store - and to thank you for hopping and visiting today, you can use coupon code COFFEEHOP for 20% off your entire order!
