Coffee Lovers Spring | Summer Blog Hop & Taylormadecards4u Design Team Project

I'm back again with another Taylormadecards4u Design Team project for the Coffee Lovers Spring | Summer Blog Hop. Monica has this fun set of digital Coffee Flash cards that be used for so many things. Let's have a look at the cards.

These cards would be a fun addition to any coffee themed project, for example, tucked into a coffee cup or tied on as a gift card. For this project, I chose to make some coffee themed decor for my kitchen. 

First I cut out the cards, then roughed up the edges and inked them. I put them aside while I painted my canvas with in a light coffee color. 

After drying, I loved the color, but I thought it was lacking something so I applied a layer of matte medium and placed a couple of burlap strips over the canvas to give some more texture. The matte medium acted as a wonderful glue and I'm not worried about the burlap peeling up at all. 

After the matte medium had dried, I started layering the flash cards randomly over the canvas to see how I wanted them placed. After I had a general idea of how I wanted to layer them I started gluing them down. 

To give some more dimension, I popped some of them up with some adhesive foam squares. To finish the project off, I added a coffee cup and coffee pot that I fussy cut from a digital scrapbook kit that I have. There were a few 'empty' spaces so I tore a piece of coffee bean paper that I printed from the same scrapbook kit and inked the edges and filled in between the cards. 

I'm pleased with the way that the project turned out and I think it will look really cute hanging in my kitchen.
