Scrappy Coffee & Friends

I love cards that are just created from whatever comes out of your fingers as you go along!!  That's how this one was... Take some "elements" stamps (ie.. Canvas background stamp, coins, splatters, coffee stains, chess piece, key....) and create your own background. Adds one strips of weird DSP (you know, the kind you think you'll never use) , staple them on after you flag the ends.... Tear a piece of "print" DSP... Or real newspaper. I like to shade the edges with an ink pad (ink to paper technique) 

Finish it off with bakers twine & a button. 

Stamp & cut out your main image... In this instance it was the coffee cup.

Changing colors or some of the elements could make this more feminine.
