Coffee, Anyone? A Winter Coffee Card

Crafty Gals Corner asked me to be a guest designer for the month of December and I was pleased as punch! CGC was actually one of my first Design Teams ever and I'm so pleased to be frolicking around in bloggyland with them again!





This week, we are being sponsored by Faery Ink and when I was browsing through their digi stamps I came across Bella Sweet Tea, which is this warm and cozy girl drinking a mug of joe (or cocoa or tea depending on your imagination). 

 Here she is all colored up with Spectrum Noir markers. 


 I colored her on some glittery Copic paper that I got from Paper Temptress so she shimmers just a little bit. By the by, just as an aside about the Copic paper - I got a sampler pack because I wanted to try it out and I honestly can't believe how much of a difference using Copic paper makes. I was having pretty big issues with my markers bleeding outside the lines using regular heavy weight cardstock, but now I can even color in small areas and not be worried about bleed. End rant. 
To me, the image seemed juuuuust prissy enough to pair it with the sentiment from my Caffeinated Christmas stamp set that pokes fun at high-maintenance coffee orderers. 

As you can see (maybe), I added a big bow and made the center cutout into a flat shaker with lots of rock glitter. 

Here's an up-close and personal shot of all that glitter! 

 Speaking of glitter, I wanted to make certain to use some  because we are playing the fiddles for sweet Virginia Lu. She's run such a classy, amazing, inspiring challenge for the past while, but the last one is her swan song. She's shutting it down her famous Virginia's View Challenge for the time being. 


So here's to you Virginia! Thanks for all you do for the world of cardmaking! 

Make sure you head on over and play along with the talented gang up at Crafty Gals Corner! It's Anything Goes and Faery Ink is supplying a very generous prize this week. 

I'm also going to play along at:
City Crafter - All about Winter (no Christmas) 
Tuesday Throwdown - Snowflakes 


Thanks for popping by! Hope you all are having a very Merry December!

    Very sweet Becca, the idea of a glitter shaker is a great one, I always manage to get my glitter everyway. I even managed to get Stickles glue all over my desk when I squeezed and the top flew off!!! :)

    Adorable! I agree about the paper...this weekend I was working on that squirrel card and was so frustrated at how much bleed I was getting and finally I realized I forgot to use the special paper! And I do love the shimmer...added bonus... Your card is the most adorable...she is so cute and of course your fun stamps!
