National Coffee Day Hop - Trinity

Saturday is here and so is National Coffee Day.  You probably know the CLC blog is hosting a hop today and Trinity Stamps has it's own sub-hop going on.   This project is part of that hop and is loaded with some tasty treats.  

My project for this hop features the Coffee with Character and Caffeinated Sentiments stamp sets.  I really love the versatility of these sets, they are fun to use.  For my card, I randomly repeat stamped bits from the coffee set on white paper.  Once I had the design I wanted I cut the paper to 4 X 5.25 so it would be just a bit smaller than the base.  I then used my Prismacolor pencils to color in my images and used a pencil blender to make the pencil smoother.  I did the same with the sentiment strip, colored and blended.  I came back in with a white Siglo pen and added the highlights.  White the colors aren't as clean as Copics, I still like the look they provide.  

Here is a close up of the sentiment: 

If you happened to stop here randomly, be sure to head to the Trinity Blog to see all the great designs from this hop and DT.
