I created and shared this coffee-colored card earlier so today I’m going a little bright and colorful! 🙂
I created a long and skinny card with a little bit of masking for my stacked cups! To start I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4″ by 8.” Then I stamped the first mug on the top using intense black ink. I also stamped it on a post-it note and fussy cut it. Then I masked the top mug with the post-it note and stamped the next mug below. I repeated the masking process and stamped four additional mugs. I also stamped the little accents that (to me) make it seem like my cups are wobbly! 😉
Next I masked off the top part of the card and blended a little weathered wood distress ink onto the bottom to ground my cups. Then I colored each mug with a trio of copics to create a little shading. Finally I added a heat-embossed sentiment flag on black cardstock to finish the card! Generally that’s the amount of coffee I need to get through the day (though I tend to avoid the five-high stack!) 😉

Great card, I can almost hear the clink of the wobbly cups because of the accent stamp!
That sentiment is so true for many of us, and the rainbow colored stack of cups brighten up my day!! Great card Jessica.

Fun card – love how your colored the cups!
Wow, Jessica, you could keep those cups going on and on!! I was thinking about all the pics of my friends having coffee and doing selfies. This would be great for a layout!! Thanks for all your inspiration and love the idea of coloring all the different shades of copic colors I have!! Such fun!
I love the colors you chose and the different shades to make the cups look like they are round. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Such a cute card! I absolutely love it! And I think the ‘accents’ do make it look wobbly.
