I am so not a coffee drinker,  ice tea only for this girl.  but I love coffee stamps.  This is by Jessica Lynn Originals.  I colored the stamped imaged with my Copics and used my colored pencils to shade the owl.  Background stamp is coffee stain by Altnew.  Hearts were die cut with SU heart border die.

Our weather in Chicago has finally settled into Winter.  We went from 68 degrees  to 36 degrees  in less then 8 hours and had our first dusting of snow.

I'm not a fan of winter but I do love the holidays, and with Thanksgiving a week away.....that means that Christmas is right around the corner.  

This is such a sweet Christmas angel from, "Aurora Wings"  its called "Star Angel"   I know of the perfect little girl who will be getting this card.

Colored with Copics,  MFT oval and stitched rectangle dies to create top layer of card.  I heat embossed stars from SSS with their  rainbow sparkle embossing powder.  I love the tone on tone look with the iridescent sparkle.

I so love Mason Jars.....

I saw the candy corn jar on Pnterest  and knew I had another use for my Stampin Up "Jar of Love" stamp set and dies.  I love it when I can take a stamp set and use it all year round....

I used my Pan Pastels to shade the jar like a candy corn.  Then just die cut scraps of black glitter paper for the leaves and bats.   Allflowers were stamped in grey and black.

erfect adult Halloween card!
