A Little Fall Hello-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

Fall has finally descended on us here in Southeast Missouri. With it comes shorter days, beautiful fall colors on the trees, and decidedly cooler weather. Debra and I decided to embrace that and make that our theme this month. I created this adorable card by stamping the sweet mouse onto some Copic-friendly cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink and one of the sweet images from Unity Stamp Company's Mice & Cozy stamp set. I colored the image with my alcohol markers using the inspiration photo to help guide my color selection. Once the image was colored, I added the sky with Stampin' UP bashful blue ink and My Favorite Things mini cloud edges stencil. I die cut the image down into a panel using My Favorite Things stitched circle nesting dies. Using Honey Bee Stamps Spring Leaves background plate, I added some leaf detail to the evergreen cardstock panel from Hobby Lobby. I die cut some patterned paper from Paper Rose's Autumn Plaid 6x6 paper pad using the largest nesting banner die from We R Memory Keepers and layered that onto my card base. I popped the focal image up using thin foam tape, added some sparkle to the leaves using Nuvo Glitter Drops in white blizzard. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, cut it down into a small banner and adhered that to the lower left of my focal panel. I finished this card off with some white enamel gems from Waffle Flower. 

My coffee this month is a delicious brownie batter latte from Scooter's. It was dessert in a cup! Thank you for popping by my blog today. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my posts and comments. Now, be sure to head on over to Deb's blog to see how she was inspired this month.
