\n<\/a>It’s my turn to host the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge (IC635<\/a>) & I chose Theme Rooms<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for our site. Since we recently moved, I find I’m always on the look out for ideas for our new place. The pictures are also pretty inspiring for creating cards & I was inspired by THIS<\/strong><\/span><\/a> picture.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>I had a lot of fun making this one. I used the greeting<\/span> <\/b>as background & stamped it over & over in white then heat embossed it in white powder. I know a lot of people will use clear ink\/white or black powder or else white or black ink &amp; clear powder, but in my experience, I get a much better, clearer result (especially when using black) if I use the same color ink & powder. Just my 2 cents…well, w\/ inflation it’s probably a dollar now.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So after it was all embossed, I sponged on inks from a Kaleidacolor rainbow ink pad called Cappuccino over most of it. Then I stamped the coffee cup<\/span><\/b> on a separate piece of white & sponged it w\/ the same colors. The band was done again, masking it & stamping w\/ the argyle pattern then cut & attached on top. Since the greeting was all over the bg, I made a little flag w\/ just the die cut letters Coffee on it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the inside.<\/span>
