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...
