You Mocha Me Happy - Miss Ink and the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

It's here... the most wonderful time of the year... no... not that one.. it's time for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  Miss Ink is a sponsor and we're hopping along today to share some caffeinated creations to inspire you!

Link up any new Coffee, Tea or Cocoa themed creation for a chance to win one of many prizes!  The hop starts at the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's Blog right here!  You'll find all of the rules and the linkup there.

Here's what I have for you today:

So... this squirrel from the Oh, Nuts! Stamp Set... adorable... they all are!  Doesn't he look like he's made to hold a coffee cup.  Normally I look at almost any set I have to see if there is a way to make a coffee card out of it.  I love making coffee cards using non-coffee themed sets.  The idea for this one however was put into my head a while ago by Heidi ...Miss Ink herself.. and it's been rolling around up there since.  So happy to finally get it onto a card!

I started by creating the background using the Caffeine Molecule and a Coffee Bean from the Brewtiful Stamp Set (which is one of my very favorite Coffee themed sets).  I random stamped the images onto a die cut panel and then splattered a little bit of glitter watercolor over it in some autumny colors.

And I thought the Have Heart wood slice would make the perfect place for the squirrel to take up residence.  A few leaves and acorns from the Oh, Nuts! set and the cup from Just Be-Caws.

And I built my sentiment with one from the Oh, Nuts! set and another from Brewtiful.  I added the parenthesis using an Emboss-It pen.

And that's what I have for you today!

I'm playing along over at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes this week!  This is definitely anything!  I'm also playing along over at Cupcake Inspirations Fall Theme...
