Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Day 5

It's day 5 of the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and although I didn't post a card for the hop yesterday, I did 2 on Sunday so I'm feeling pretty good.  There is so much inspiration from the fabulous sponsors and participants it's mind boggling. at last count there were 726 entries and there's still 4 days to go.  WOW!  Today I'm sharing a card assembled digitally from the new I LUV Coffee set from Ike's Art. Not only does it have a 4 lovely cups in both jpg and png form (so you can print them on digitial backgrounds, if you like) but also 6 free digital papers designed by Jane Bradshaw especially for the set.

I used the paper with the cup outlines that could be printed and colored as is, like a coloring page, but instead, I cropped it in sections in my printing program, changed the color of each section and reassembled into a Springy coffee rainbow background for the glorious cup.  I changed the black outline there, too to a light beigey brown and added a drop shadow and digital sentiment on a curve.   After printing, I colored the coffee cup with Copic markers.  I decided the sentiment got a bit lost so I printed it all again and cut out the sentiment following the curve and popped it with foam.

I'm also entering this in the Ike's World Challenge AG (playing without the twist), DL.Art March Linky Challenge,  and Lil Patch of Crafty Friends AG.
