Blue Cup

 Hi!  I'm playing along with the new challenge at Color Hues where they are looking for light blue and navy colourways.

I had the idea to Copic-colour a coffee cup in navy blue and put it in a light-blue background so that's what I did.

I'm trying to be a bit more creative in staging my photos.  It probably won't last once I get back to work and time becomes an issue, but for now, it's quite good fun to come up with layouts.  

Funnily, I had originally planned to have the ink-blending and cup in the upper portion of the card, but I did my ink-blending with the card base upside down and had to improvise - so bottom right it is 😄

After ink-blending Salvaged Patina Distress Ink, I masked off the rest of the card base and spattered on some white acrylic paint.  Once that was dry, I stamped the sentiment and added the Copic-coloured cup and saucer which has my favourite beverage - black coffee (second favourite is green tea, but that didn't work with the sentiment!)

Thanks so much for visiting!  For once, I could actually fit all the Copics used in my hand so here they are if anyone is interested.

Products used:

Stamps:  Coffee and Tea (SSS)

Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black, Amalgam (Gina K), Salvaged Patina Distress Ink

Cardstock:  White, X-Press It

Cheers
