Korthobby have a really great photo inspiration this month.
I liked the lattice, I liked the blue and white coffee grinder, I liked the retro lady and the green grey colour of the sign. So I made this.........
I started by cutting grey card with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle die. Then I used Salty Ocean distress ink through Tando Distorted Harlequin mask. I left the mask in place and stamped with Kaisercraft Grafitti stamp and black archival. I cut a piece of white card with the stitched rectangle die and embossed with Sizzix Bricked embossing folder. Then I added a slither of MME patterned paper that I cut wiggly with a craft knife. I stamped Flonzcraft Gibson Girl 18, coloured her with watercolour pencils and waterbrush, fussy cut and mounted on some foam pads. I added some metal charms from Korthobby . The mmmmmm is a STAMPlorations stamp. I didn't have a coffee stamp so I used my embossing pen and black embossing powder. Note to self.... get a coffee stamp LOL.

Fabulous page Gail, could you not make a coffee stamp from foam letters? Loving the distorted harlequin mask stencil :-) xxx

LOOOOVE that masking & blue with the stencil work....looks fabulous!!
I love your card Gail!!! Good luck for these challenges. :)
And about followers, I think I would be happy to follow you, at least as much as possible through BlogLovin' if you could install it maybe?... I don't want to subscribe anymore to individual newsletters as I receive more than 50 mails each day now, and really cannot see all and comment each blog post now since I'm also a working mum with two last young children of 7 to take care (I have also old children haha, I'm not young).. Have a lovely day, Coco xx
I want that stitch rectangle die, Gail! You did an amazing job using the photo as inspiration. Good luck!
Hi Becca. No, I didn't know that. Hugz
Hello Coco, thanks for your comment. I do have a bloglovin' button but it seems to have slipped to the bottom of my sidebar. I'll see if I can chivvy it back up. Hugz
