Penelope cat gets her coffee

Another one of my favorite times of year has arrived at last. The Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop!!! The chance for me to ink up some of the coffee themed stamp sets I have been shamelessly collecting. It totally justifies their purchase, right?? Anywho, I'm hoping to complete several cards for this round so wish me luck.

Here is my first card to share!

I used this adorable digital stamp from 2 Cute Ink called Penelope Cat. You can purchase her right HERE. I printed her out onto Cryogen White Copic safe cardstock. I had already pre-picked the main piece of patterned paper I wanted to use so I went through my Copics looking for colors that would match. Here is the list of colors used.

Cat T1, T3, T5

Cheeks & inner ears R00

Table E71, E74, E77, E79

Coffee E23, E27

Mug & Flowers YG61, YG63, YG67

Scarf RV63, RV66, RV69

Once she was all done I moved on to the rest of the pieces. I cut her out with a Wonky Rectangle die from MFT Stamps. I handcut a thin green layer out of a coordinating solid green cardstock from Stampin' Up. Now, can we talk about this background?? The base aqua coffee patterned paper is from an older paper pad. It is called Winter Wonderland from Pebbles. I also pulled the pinkish patterned paper from the same paper pad. Now came some more fun. I cut it with a plaid die! My crafty heart goes a little mushy when I get to use this die. It is the Diagonal Plaid die from Lil' Inker Designs. It's awesome.

I glued the coffee print paper to a pink cardbase. Next came the plaid pinkish paper, the green layer and the cat layer. For the final touch I added some different sizes of sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. And that's it. It's a pretty simple card even with the Copic coloring. I encourage you to check out the 2 Cute Ink Esty store here. I also want to encourage you to play along with the Coffee Lovers blog hop.
