Hello, and welcome to the October collaboration of Coffee and Cards with Celeste and Deb. We are excited to announce that we have Michael Trent guest designing with us this month. I love Michael's work, so it's always a treat when he joins us! Debra chose this fun image as our inspiration, and I thought it was perfect with Halloween upon us in two short weeks. I created my card by laying the medium Tim Holtz Moon Mask onto my white cardstock, and inking the paper using Tim Holtz distress inks carved pumpkin, fireside brick, and black soot. I removed the moon mask and inked the moon with squeezed lemonade, and then added the detail stenciling with wild honey. I then stamped the bats and the sentiment from Picket Fence's Triple Trouble stamp set right over the moon using Versafine onyx black ink for a nice, crisp image. I stamped the pumpkins from the same stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored the images using alcohol markers. I fussy cut the images out, popped them up off of the card using thin foam tape, and added white gel pen highlights for additional interest.
For my coffee this month, I got a freebie from my local Ziggi's coffee shop for using my rewards and I opted for a warm pumpkin pie latte, because it's October and I love all things pumpkin! Now, be sure to stop over at Deb's and Michael's blogs and see what fun they created using this month's inspiration photo.

Love this card, the shades of orange and the white highlights on the pumpkins. They look 3D. Thanks for having me join you guys again.
Awesome fussy cutting on those creepy jack-o-lanterns! Spooktacular card, Celeste!
