Coffee card and book mark

Here she is, the first card with the new coffee stamps! Next time I will look for a little bit darker background and will even extend the "roughed look" a little bit more :)

And with some leftovers a bockmark. I like the combination of dark and light brown with some black and this kind of turqoise. Just have to find somebody who can laminate me this book mark so I can use it.

I made the coloured papers mostly with different papers and kinds of coffee. Just a few examples of them:

normal writing paper

paper from a small notepad, crushed until it was very softened and afterwards dyed in the coffe and dried with a flat iron... of course with some backing paper in between ^^

If you just press it up the paper you get this structures:

  

But of course you can get all the wrinkles out of the paper while it is still wet. Just like ironing fabric :)

Some semi transparent sandwich paper... 

Cardboard...

...and more cardboard...

Carved stamps - a coffee themed set

Just another theme I want to create something out of it but didn't have any suitable stamps for it ^^ The theme ist "coffee or tea".

I made two versions of the "steam" because I was not sure whether "smaller or bigger steam" would look better. I think I may go with the version on the left side, the "bigger" one.

At first i was a little bit disappointed that on the coffee writing the last "E" was a little bit broken but after looking through the pictures of coffee sacks in the internet I go in for it! On all the coffee sacks the writing is rough or broken so it's just fitting :)

And now: Bedtime!
