Crafty Cardz: Neat & Tangled: Be Bold!

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are having a lovely Easter weekend. Its a bit cloudy today in So. Cal., with the sun coming in and out, but that is okay, it won't deter anyone from Easter egg hunting. Today I will be featuring Neat & Tangles Big Bold Brew! I've been wanting this stamp set for a while and finally got a chance to purchase it. I LOVE coffee, so coffee themed stamps sets are so much fun because I can relate. Every morning I have a nice cup of joe to wake me up. :) The card is simple with the main image taking main stage. I started by using Tim Holtz's Splatter Stencil to ink blend some Ground Espresso Distress Ink to the background. I used post-it tape to cover areas of the stencil I did not want to use and moved it to the areas I wanted to use. After I used MFT's Extreme Black Ink to stamp my images on white cardstock so that I could Copic color the images. A change for me was coloring the boy with blond hair rather than a dark color hair, I usually gravitate to dark colors for hair colors. The coffee cup is quite large so I used four shades of blue . After I colored the images, I fussy cut it out. I used Versifine Onyx Black for the sentiment, which came from the same stamp set. I popped my main images and adhered the hearts with glue. I hope you like my card. :)
