Pour a Cup of Coffee

Hello!  Today I am playing with a digi stamp from STAMPlorations called Autumn Pumpkin Mug that I printed on white cardstock and colored with Copics.  I fussy cut the mug and popped  it up on a corresponding color CS  and a panel of Pumpkin patterned paper (printed from a digital file from Kate Cuttables).  The sentiment stamp is an old Mark's Finest Papers stamp. 

I would love to have some real mugs just like the paper one on my card for our morning coffee.

Challenges:
 Modsquad Challenge: Fall Beverage theme.  Thought this mug was perfect for this challenge.

Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 552- Food/Drink

Use Your Stuff: #335 Mood Board.  Inspired by the fall colors and the fall drink on the board.  

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Harvest of Pumpkins

Welcome to my studio!  I was inspired to create this card by the Photo Challenge Week #459 at Just Us Girls.  I loved the fall trees, colors and the old truck in the photo.  I knew I had an old truck stamp but it took me a while to find it.  I had created the fall scene before I remembered where it was so I had to invent a way of including the truck.  But back to the beginning, I stamped a Repeat Impression stamp Covered Bridge with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on heavyweight white card stock and colored with an number of Distress Oxide Inks....actually used a dozen of them but too lazy to list.  Also used some pencils in some areas.  I might should have used watercolor paper but I was happy with the results on this paper. By the time I finished this scene, I found the old truck stamp in  my Mark's Finest Paper stamps.  I stamped it in the same ink and colored with Distress Oxide Inks and some pencils.  I drew some pumpkins in the back of the red truck and added a driver into the cab. I fussy cut the truck and attached it with foam tape as if he is driving down the dirt road and off the edge of the scene.  To finish, I added an orange mat and a textured rust color card base.  Stamped a Power Poppy sentiment Happy Harvest since there was an abundant harvest of pumpkins in the truck.
Had fun combing the stamps to create this scene.

Another Lighthouse

Hello! Sharing another Lighthouse card. This one features a stamp from Art Impressions that I stamped twice  with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.  I sponged the sky with Memento Summer Sky and the grass with Bamboo Leaves and added some "M" birds with a black marker.  Also embossed some clouds.  I fussy cut one of the lighthouses and popped it up with foam tape. I trimmed the image with a Spellbinders die and placed on a background of Blue Patterned Paper from Kaisercraft that I embossed with Swiss Dots EF.  Finished with a White card base and a sentiment from Repeat Impressions. Also inspired by sketch shown below.

Life's an Adventure

Hello!  Playing with some old pattern paper and some other items from my stash to create this card with a Travel theme.  The pattern paper by Teresa Collins was a great place to start and I added some stickers from Creative Imagination and a sentiment from my stash of stamps.  I stamped the words on a scrap of tan CS with Memento Tuxedo black ink and inked the edge with black. Added a Brad Camera that I have had (hoarded) for years waiting for the right card to use. Used a Kraft card base and a Black mat to assemble the card.  Like the collage look of the finished card.
Challenges:
Stamp, Ink, Paper: Challenge 112 Travel
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge: August Challenge use pattern paper
As You Like It Challenge: Theme is to showcase a project using your Favorite Embellishment (& why).  I love Brads especially special ones like the Camera on my card.  They give such a individual and personal touch.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
