I am sharing a joyful coffee card from Brutus Monroe's Cozy Coffee stamp set. I started by making a watercolor background with Frayed Burlap and Weathered Wood DOX ink.
My images are stamped with Raven ink and colored using Copic markers. I LOVE this ink for coloring. It's dark, clean, and doesn't smear. I added some fun embellishments from my stash to accessorize my cup.
