Nope. Not Today-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

 

This month Debra and I decided to create a card using any Unity Stamp Company stamp. I love all of my Unity stamps but am partial to my Angie girl stamps. I seem to grab for them a lot. This month I opted to use Tricia Girl and do some fun paper piecing. I started by stamping the image onto some white Copic-friendly cardstock, and then die cut that into a panel using a wonky stitch nesting die from Gina Marie Designs to create a panel. Using the Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic 6x6 paper pad, I stamped her scarf, shirt, skirt, jacket, purse, and boots and fussy cut them out. I edged each piece using my dual edge Memento marker and adhered them to the base stamped image. I added shadows to all of the pieces using my Copic markers. I die cut some banners using the same paper pad and some nesting banners from Unity Stamp Company and adhered them to the top of my focal panel, which I matted with some black cardstock. I finished off my card by adhering some black gems around the image. 

For my coffee this month, I opted for a nice deep Italian Espresso in my adorable Miss Etoile espresso cup that Nathan and I brought back from London last year.

Now, Debra did tell me that she was going to be using a new to her stamp from Unity this month, so be sure to stop by her blog to see what fun she created!
