Hello friends! Well, the month of January is flying by and today I'm sharing my 3rd card as guest designer for Just Us Girls. This week we have a wonderful mood board that I think is one of the sweetest and coziest I've ever seen.
I know the photos are a bit hard to see but if you head over to the JUGs blog, they have a larger version where you can see all the details.
I'm also joining the current Inkspirational Challenge, where the theme is Stencils.
I just love this JUGS Mood Board! I was inspired by the kitty's warm cuddly sweater and hat, along with the cup of coffee.
I started with Altenew's Sweater Pattern stencil and used light brown and medium gray to create the pattern on a panel of white, which was then cut it down with a rectangle die and added to a white card base with foam tape.
Next I used the MFT Coffee Talk Bundle to create the die cut coffee cups and stamp the sentiment. I laid the coffee cups on a sticky mat, then colored them with Copic markers. Two additional dies were cut for each cup and they were layered up before adhering to card front around the sentiment. The last thing was to add a heart. I have some clay hearts from Trinity Stamps but the color was a little too tomato-y, so I just used a dark red Copic marker to change the color and after adhering it to the cup, I covered it with Glossy Accents for some shine. I was tickled pink by how this card turned out because I've never used this bundle before although I think I bought it over a year ago. Time to keep shopping my stash, I guess!
So, what inspires you on the mood board? Please take a moment to visit the challenge blog and see what inspired the DT and hopefully play along! Thanks for visiting.
Take care!
Stef

I just love this moodboard too, Stef, and I love your take. Your "knitted" background is wonderful and all those cuppas are so warm and inviting. Wonderful choice of sentiments, and that tiny heart is the perfect finish!
Stef... this sentiment is just priceless! Love how you mixed the gray and beige inks on the sweater stencil... really a great look. And the bit of glossy accents is perfect!
