This is my third card for the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop. I combined it with splitcoaststampers color challenge CC575
I used 2 Mark's Finest Papers sets called OH BEANS and JAVA TIME. I stamped the coffee beans using black stazon ink. I colored with markers, cut them out and put a lot of Aleene's glue on top of each beans. It took awhile to dry but when it was done it gave them a glassy, shiny finish.
The faux wood on my card started as a recycled piece of cardboard, glue and acrylic paint. I had to mix several different colors to get the mint color for the challenge. When the faux wood dried, I cut it into panels. I wanted to make it look like there were rusty nails. I used a stylus to make indentations and put copper inka gold for the rust and I put a dot with a black marker for the nail.
I absolutely love your faux wood technique. I tried it from your tutorial and it worked great! Your card is so nice and the faux wood makes it spectacular!
