Brew-tiful Day

 This week, I challenged myself to make a CAS (clean and simple) card. I chose a coffee theme well.... because I love coffee and so do a lot of my friends so I decided to try to combine the two things into a card for my just because stash. I love the gnomes and coffee themed stamps at High Hopes so I chose "Just Relaxin'" for this personal challenge. 

I stamped the stamp on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured him with Copic markers and hand fussy cut him. To create the clean and simple background, I cut a piece of white card stock using a rectangle die, centered the sentiment and stamped it. Next, I added some Marina Mist ink to the white space above the sentiment using a blending brush and to finish the card I glued down the stamped image.
