Cool Beans Luka

 

Today is the first Inspiration Friday post at La-La Land Crafts for the new year! Our theme for this post is "Thank You". I had to ink up Cool Beans Luka for this - anyone would appreciate a hot cocoa or coffee on these cold wintry days!

For my design, you can see I created a slot box on my card front to hold a gift card for those warm drinks! Here is a pic with the gift card:

What I really like about the design is that using a slot box gives you extra depth to play around with background and adding lots of texture with dies, etc.

The colors I used to color up my design are:

skin - E04, 11, 21, 00, 000, R20
hair/jacket/shoes - 100, N7, 04
shirt - G46, 21, YG67
brown - E59, 57, 25, 23
jeans - B99, 39, 97, 95
coffee cup - E44, 43, 42, 41

I distressed the background with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and added watercolor droplets.

The dies I used are: Stitched Slots Die, Winter Hill Border Die, Triangle Lace Border Die, Snowflake Ornaments Die, Stitched Tags Die, Winter Mug (Nov 2017 club kit), Pine Bough (Nov 2017 club kit).
