Wishing You Holiday Happiness

 

My card was created for the Just Add Ink card challenge. I stenciled a pane using Versamark clear ink and SSS Falling Snow stencil. I heat embossed it using Ranger white detail embossing powder. I then inked the entire panel with Tim Holtz distress oxide ink in mermaid lagoon and then sprayed Lindy's Glitz Spritz shimmer spray all over the panel. I die cut the polar bear using white cardstock and Paper Smooches Bear Frog Card dies. I colored the ears, eyes, and nose using Copic markers and adhered them. I then adhered the entire bear image to my focal panel. I stamped the sentiment from Neat & Tangled's Berry Merry stamp set, fussy cut it, and adhered it to the panel. I finished the card off with some mini snowflake diecut images and Blue Skies sequins from SSS. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. 

Leaves Are Falling-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

 

As many of you know, my monthly coffee and cards co-host, Debra Davison, is a KCS Designs design team member. Because I don't have a color printer, she was kind enough to print and ship some beautiful papers and images to me this month. We decided it would be fun to create something using those fun designs. Also, as a bonus, Michael Trent, who is also a design team member for them, will be joining us this month! I used the Autumn Coffee Clip Art cups, Shabby Vintage Journal backgrounds, and Autumn Flair Buttons to create my card. I fussy cut the images out, inked around the edges using Tim Holtz vintage photo ink and an ink blending tool. I adhered everything onto a base of medium brown cardstock from my stash that I embossed with Honey Bee Stamps Spring Leaves cover plate for a little additional detail and interest. I popped the mugs and the sentiment button up off of the card using foam tape. I finished it off with some beautiful sequins from Simon Says Stamp. 

My coffee this month is a beautiful lavender latte paired with a coffee macaron from a fun new place I found in St. Louis called Tous Le Jours, a French patisserie with an Asian flair. The food and coffee were amazing!  Now, be sure to head over to Debra and Michael's blogs to see what fun they created with these great digital designs!
