I was so honored to be asked to be a part of Chaitali's Iron Craft season 2. This is a feature where Chaitali crafts side by side with another stamper - using the same ingredients, just like Iron Chef!
You can see our video interview here:
For our segment, we both used Reverse Confetti's Be a Barista. Here's my card...
I've used some subtle prints from the Wanderlust collection by Studio Calico. The cup from Be a Barista was stamped, pieced and colored with copics. I cut the Arrow Die from glitter cardstock. The Love Note die was recut with the rounded rectangle from the Class Act die set, to create a frame, and then filled in with a vellum piece cut with the same die. I finished with a button, some twine, and matte silver sequins.
Here's the inside of my card...
You'll want to head over to Chaitali's blog to see the full Iron craft segment, and her card using Be a Barista!
