This month's CAS Card Challenge is:
I used one of my favorite STAMPlorations dies and made this card.
I die-cut the coffee cup silhouette from a piece of black cardstock. The background was a leftover salted watercolored piece. I sprinkled some salt over the wet watercolored paper and rubbed off the salt after the paper dried.
I layered the silhouette die-cut over the watercolored rectangle and popped up the panel with craft foam. The sentiment was heat-embossed in dark brown.
I hope you'll check out the challenge and join the fun!
Thanks for dropping by!

ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful salted background I’ve seen today as I slowly catch up on my commenting. The autumn colour palette is perfect. Gorgeous card, Hideko! xx
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of a cup of hot coffee or spiced tea in front of a campfire. I LOVE those vivid Fall salted colors! And this is my favorite coffee die cut!
ReplyDeleteHideko, I feel as if this is from an era when snapping one's fingers was a cool way of showing appreciation of a performance, instead of applause … I'm feeling like this fabulous card is deserving of those finger snaps, my friend... so COOL!!
