My project for this week is:-

Chocolate Cherry Pie Digi Stamp 

from The Stamping Chef 
(one of our sponsors)

This week I thought I would make 
a nice Stair Step Fold Card,
so to begin with I chose a piece of 
14 x 26cm Maroon Card
(stash).
 Which I scored at 
3cm, 6cm, 10.5cm 15cm, 20.5cm
to make the folds.

Next I cut some Purple/Cream 
'Snakeprint' Linen Card
(stash)
to fit the Smallest and the Largest 'Steps'.
And some Cream/Purple
'Snakeprint' Linen Card
(stash)
to fit the Middle 'Step'.

Next I Die-Cut out my Image
using the Majestic Circles (6pc)
(Spellbinders)
And to colour the Edges I used 
Champagne Mist - All Purpose Ink
(Tsukineko)
which I applied with a sponge,
then I added Maroon Promarker to the Ink
and reapplied.

And using Champagne Pearl Card
(Ross)
I Die-Cut out the Backing Shape
so that I could Découpage my Image onto it.

I coloured in my Image 
using my Promarker Pens.

For My Sentiment I chose one by Jenny Ellory,
along with the matching Coffee Cup

I put a strip of Cream Satin Ribbon
(Stash).
across the Middle 'Step',
and placed the Coffee on top.
