Hey Crafty Friends, So I did a thing lol! This card uses real coffee in the background. Yes you heard me, real coffee! y It's so easy to do and I absolutely love the result I got. You can find a process video on the background below. Card Recipe: 1. Stamp girl in coffee mug from the  Cute Coffee Girls  set on  alcohol marker  friendly card stock and colour in your favourite medium. I'm using copics Colour Combo: Cup and Saucer - Y19, Y17, Y15, Y11 Hair - C9, C7, C5, C3 Coffee - E37, E35, E33, E31 Skin - E35, E33, E11, E00 2. Take a piece of watercolour card stock. The card I'm using has a slightly bumpy texture to it. Watch the video below to see how you can create this background. I also experimented with a couple other card stocks to see how the results would come out which you can see in the video. View my video on YouTube  HERE 3.

Colour Combo: I've used Spectrum Noir Triblends and randomly coloured the flowers with various pinks, purples and corals. 4.
