On to not one, but two creations! My first card uses a stamp set that I have been meaning to get inky. For those of you that know me, you KNOW I love my java! I love it too much probably! So, this Zenspirations set called Espresso Yourself was calling my name!
You can see, it's just a mix of brown, tan and ivory papers - on the long tan piece, I did stamp one of the background strips from this set called Reindeer Games because I really liked those swooshes and swirls! Add a strip from the set down the side in brown in, color up the hearts with red marker and the basics are there! The cup was stamped with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and colored with just a few Copic Markers, E27, Y21, R39, R35 and R30. Just that simple! Add a bow and a little sentiment from the set and.... ta da!
My second card is literally a 10 minute or less card that I thought was fun for the holidays -- easy to mass produce!
And that, my friends, is it! You'll have to make the rounds to see what the other fabulous IO designers whipped up with this fun challenge!

Both of these are wonderful, but I really love the second one with the birches! I'm a big fan of blue and this is wonderful!
Gorgeous cards!
I love Brilliance inks and definitely want to add the Birch CAC to my stash! Your card is gorgeous! thank you for sharing both card ideas.
Well, that coffee card ALMOST makes me think I am grown up enough to drink the stuff! It's a beauty - just love the colors! And your birch trees are divine. My yard is sadly lacking birch trees, but I'm not seeing Mr Wonderful staying as such if I plant more for him to mow around. Yes, dear, your art inspires big time! Hope you're gearing up for a fun filled weekend ;)
