Some Heroes Wear Capes-Mine Makes Coffee--The Heart Desires #6

November 6, 2016

I will not be crafting for a week because I am leaving for Indiana to go meet my new GRANDson, Oliver.  He is one week old and I am just so excited to get there.

I am playing along with The Heart Desires challenge!  I loved the wonderful inspiration photo and the sketch.  Stop by their blog and check out all the wonderful Design Team inspiration. 




My card is created on a white card base.  I used a variety of papers to create this card.  I wanted to make this card for my Sweetie because he brings me coffee in bed every morning!  The stamp set is from Reverse Confetti--Just Brew It.  I used the matching die to cut out the mugs.  Twine and enamel dots were added and a little Wink of Stella to make the coffee shine. 



Thanks for stopping by!  Leave a comment if you have time.  I love to hear from you!  


HUGS!

My card is created on a white card base.  I used a retired fall DSP from Stampin' Up for my background.  I trimmed is with the Stitched Rectangle Dies from SugarPea Designs.  The Cajun Craze rectangle was trimmed with the same dies and backed with a piece of Crumb Cake.  I used an embossing folder on this piece.  The little fox and sentiment are from SugarPea Designs-Fall Fox.  I colored him and his piles of leaves with Copic Markers.  The circles were trimmed with the Zig Zag Stitched Circle Dies.  A few retired candy dots and Wink of Stella were added to complete my card.
