Coffee and Cream

I've made a card for the latest challenge at Try It On Tuesday - Coffee and Cream/Two Colours.

I'm also going to link it to the Craft Barns Two Weekly Challenge - All Around The House - I used instant coffee to colour my watercolour paper and also used my sewing machine that sits in my craft room not doing a lot.


I coloured some watercolour paper with instant coffee and water, when the paper was dry the coffee left on it was very sticky so I rinsed it of under the tap. I cut a pice of the paper to fit the card and stamped the La Blanche flower on the piece that was left. I cut the flower out. I put a piece of tissue wrap on the card and attached the flower and a heart [Clearly Impressed stamp] with some ribbon. The sentiment was done on my sewing machine, I frayed the edges of the material and attached it with staples.

Thank you for looking.
xxx Hazel.
