Hi everyone! This week went by so fast. Welcome to day 5 and my final day of my Growing in Unity week. Today I'm combining watercolor, mixed media and a little hand lettering! I am a little rusty but I love how this canvas turned out. I started by using my favorite Daniel Smith Watercolor Moonglow to create a wash for my background. Then once that was dry, I stamped my coffee image from the Love to Go stamp set by Unity Stamp Co. It's not an Angie Girl but it is a design by Angie Blom! Love her! And this coffee stamp was perfect of the sentiment I wanted to use.
I wanted to highlight the heart so I pulled out my favorite Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic Metallic in Rosy and colored that in then using my paint brush created some coffee beans around the cup. I love how it turned out! Thanks for joining me all week. I had a blast.

Love the coffee cup...it would make a great sign in a coffee shop (or a coffee lovers home!) You hand painted the coffee beans?! I thought it was a stamp! Thanks for sharing your projects this week!!!
Oh, I love this! I want to hang it in my kitchen! Your lettering is amazing and the sentiment is spot on. Love my coffee!
The various shades of purples and blues look great!!! They sort of go with the color of your hair in the photo :)
I love this canvas. The colors are my favorites and I am a coffee fanatic. I could totally see myself hanging it in my kitchen. Great work this week!
