Mommy Scraps Color Challenge #29

Thanks A Latte!
This Challenge comes from Mommyscraps.blogspot.com. I was a little nervous about the colors at first, but then I found my CTMH Coffee Shop stamp set and thought these nice warm tones would be perfect. Thanks for another great challenge! Colors: Barn Red, Olive, Cocoa and or Chocolate and Honey.

I know, I'm really liking all these challenges. I normally don't make lots of cards, I much prefer scrapbooking, but I do have to say that these challenges have been letting me explore different techniques and layout designs. This card sketch is from Taylored Expressions blog. It was one she created for a Cupcake challenge a few weeks ago. I've done several cards with this sketch and they all have turned out so cute and clean looking.

I've also noticed on a lot of blogs and forums that Copic Markers are the big thing now. Well, I don't have any, but I've seen a few techniques with shading that I thought that the CTMH markers would work well too. I used Taffy and Barn Red markers for the coffee mug. I just used the water brush for blending in some of the harder lines.
