Summer 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Hello everyone!
Ahhh.... I almost missed out on making a card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I don't know how I dazed on this event because I have been following it for a while; also because I love coffee!  I think I have been super busy with my nieces and nephews that I lost sight of it, but I did manage to put up a card today for it.  A simple one layered wonder.  I quickly went through my stash of stamps and had a few cards in mind.  I finally was able to purchase a few coffee related stamps, although there are a few more on my wish list. :P  When I rolled around to MFT's Beast Friend with the mug I immediately was drawn to it.  I figured I could do a small scene with the image with an Amy R. sentiment stamp.  I love Amy R's sentiment stamps, too bad she no longer makes/sells them. :( I have been looking out for them in destash groups.  I stamped the main image in Simon Says Intense Black ink and luckily I had a mask made for it from a previous card; I save all my masks for the stamp sets for such occasions, so I don't have to make masks for them over again.  Once I masked the image I stamped a few trees.  I decided to use my Prismacolor pencils today to color them in.  It has been a lot of fun playing and coloring with them.  Once I finished coloring the images I used my stamped my sentiment with Simon Says Black ink, which is a great black ink for sentiments.  Hope you like my card.
