With a Latte Love

Here we go with another for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  These stamps and die are from the very first prize I ever won on the Hop a few years ago from Super Sponsor Lil' Inker designs.  The stamps are all from the Latte Love Set and I've cut the cup with the Latte Love coordinating die.  I stamped the cup and coffee interior with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink and over stamped the coffee with Versa Magic Cloud White to look like crema.  I masked the "a latte" from the birthday wishes stamp  (oooh!  Look at me stampin'!) to use with the "with a latte love" stamp.  I tried to keep it monochromatic and masculine so I colored the cup brown with my Copics.  Guys never actually scrub their cups and they end up brown anyway, so there ya go.  I thought the swirly DP from Prima looked like steam.

I'm also entering this in the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends challenge #82 AG, Simon Says Monday Masculine (3/5), Simon Says Wednesday AG (4/5) and Dream Valley Challenges #180 for a Man or Boy (3/3), Crafting by Designs For the Boys and the Outlawz Twisted Thursday AG.
