Hello and welcome to the November Coffee and Cards with Celeste and Deb! This month we decided to use this fun Christmas photo as our inspiration. And, since the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop happens to be going on right now, we decided it would be fun to coordinate this month's collaboration around that! To create my card I started by stamping the beautiful Planner Gal Cold Outside by Unity Stamp Company onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock. I then stamped the coordinating sentiment to the top left of the image. Then, doing some very selective stamping, I stamped the drink coffee sentiment and one of the cups from L2E's Morning Cup stamp set to the right of my planner gal. I colored the image using my alcohol markers. Then using a strip of striped paper from the My Mind's Eye Yuletide 6x6 paper pad I added a little tablecloth beneath my image and die cut the whole thing into a rectangle panel using a stitched border die from Paper Rose. I added more of the pretty patterned papers from the same My Mind's Eye paper pad onto my white A2 card base using a fun sketch I found on Pinterest. To finish my card off I popped the focal panel up off of the card using some 3M foam tape.
For my coffee this month I chose a warm, toasty Cinnamon Crunch Latte from my local Panera restaurant. I absolutely loved it! Now, be sure to head on over to Deb's blog and see how she was inspired by this month's challenge!

A wonderfull card with that girl and her coffee.
Really like the whole look of your card.
Love the green colors! Got to try that Cinnamon Crunch Latte sometime.
This is simply gorgeous! Love the colors you used, the design, the beautiful image. Was wondering what markers/numbers you used for the scarf? I need markers for doing black and don't like my Tombow markers - they don't blend at all. And I really love how the scarf & hat came out. :-)
Becca, I used Copic C7, C5, and C3 for her scarf
This is so cute! I love the cozy plaid you added to the background and your coloring is amazing! I'm not a coffee drinker, but your choice sounds good!
Wonderful coloring on your image, nice to see your mug and your coffee selection at Panera. Went to Panera last wk to get French Onion soup in a bread bowl but they were all out of bread bowls. Phoned 2 others in area and one does not do bread bowls and other was sold out. Guess people went for lunch and bought them all out. TY for stopping by my blog & commenting on my drink card.

Your card is adorable, great coloring and I love the looks of your cup of coffee.
Lovely card, the colder it gets, the more I drink... Love the plaid
Fabulous card, love the green and images. I haven't come across any flavoured coffees as you do in the US, here in the UK. Your coffee looks yummy.

so wonderful Celeste! I love all the pops of green!
What a great design, Celeste! I don't usually like images without faces, but I really like this one, colored so beautifully! I can feel both the chill in the air and the warmth coming off that coffee! And I love the houndstooth plaid! Hugs, Darnell
this is so wonderful!
Hello from Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! ☕
I like your coloring of this cute girl and your choice of papers.
Beautiful card! Wonderful girl image! Awesome color and great design!
Deeply lovely wintertime greeting. It is so sweet, peaceful and pretty.
While, thankfully and happily, snow stayed at bay here until a few days into November, we're now sliding (or would that be, sledding? :D) into the coming season at full throttle and likely won't see double-digit temps again for the better part of half a year.
Good thing winter is often the most productive time of the year for me. That (and cozy mugs of hot cocoa) helps to make the snowy season easier to get through, I find.
