Coffee Loving Cardmakers meets Not 2 Shabby!

 Hello there inky friends!  Today I'm joining some of my fellow Coffee Loving Cardmaker designers and the designers of Not 2 Shabby as we collaborate with some fun YUMMY Coffee/Cocoa digis available exclusively through Not 2 Shabby!  These digis are fun AND inexpensive and I guarantee you'll have an awesome time playing with them!

For this collab, I selected two different delish images to create some yummy cards.  I chose "Pumpkin Spice Everything" a fun fall themed coffee image with a great sentiment! "Warm Wishes", a yummy little hot cocoa mug with two sweet marshmallow's relaxing and a nice cozy sentiment!

Since these images are digital, I had the freedom to reverse the image to make the pumpkin appear on the left.  I also took the sentiment and repeated it over and over again so that I could use it as a background.  I saw a really pretty aqua/teal pumpkin in real life this year and just fell in love so I decided to create my pumpkin with this non-traditional but very festive color.  I used my Copics to give the perfect color to the images.  I also added a bit of white gel pen here and there for highlights.

 For my second card, I kept the image a bit small so that I could use some fun Bo Bunny winter paper (retired and from my stash).  The image comes with the sentiment on the mug but I opted to remove it so that I could decorate the mug with fun little designs after coloring.  I did move the sentiment so that I could use it separately.  That's another thing I love about digis!

 Adding some snowflakes, some diecuts and some bling/ribbon and this card is ready for mailing!

Thanks for hopping over to check out my card!  I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop collab.  Thanks so much to Not 2 Shabby for allowing us the opportunity to play with the pumpkin spice images.  I'm happy I was able to purchase the Warm Wishes set.  SUCH A STEAL OF A DEAL!
