A Lotle Coffee - Miss Ink Stamps


I do need alotle coffee!!  I decided to make a background with the Latte Love stencil.  I stenciled the latte hearts first with some Lagoon Distress Ink because the Opal deco foil is very light and I thought it might make them show up a little better.  Then without removing the stencil I added some Transfer Gel Duo and set it aside to dry to tacky.


While it was drying I stamped, cut and colored my other pieces.  When it was tacky, I added the foil and placed it in a carrier sheet and then ran it through my die cutting machine... no heat needed because the Duo gel has enough tack to transfer the foil without heat and then my gel doesn't spread!  I also took my shim out because you don't need a ton of pressure.

I thought the hearts kind of looked like water especially with that shimmery opal.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping!
