#TSOT427 Try Stampin' on Tuesdays Challenge for 24th of September, 2019

Here is my card for this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday - #TSOT427:

The sketch is: 

The optional theme is: Coffee, Tea or another warm beverage.

The stamps that I have used are Coffee Marci and a sentiment from the July 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts and one of the poodles from the April 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts. I have stamped them using Tuxedo Black Memento ink on to X-Press It Blending card.

The images have been coloured with the following Copics markers:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04
• lips - R81, RV93
• hair - Y35, E55, YR27, E57, E59
• headband - R81, RV93, R56, R59
• t-shirt - V22, V25, V28, V99
• vest - R81, RV93, R56, R59
• pants - B93, B95, B97, B99

• poodle - W0, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9, RV00, RV17, RV19
• sentiment - B18

I have die cut a coffee pot, lid and heart from black and pink glitter core cardstock, then used the pink heart with the black coffee pot and lid. I also die cut a tall mug from the pink glitter core cardstock. Both die cuts are from the July 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts kit. 
I have adhered the coloured piece on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions, then adhered the die cut coffee pot, lid, heart and tall mug with pop dots.

I have extended the sketch into the inside of the card by stamping another sentiment from the July 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts with Rich Cocoa Memento ink. Then as the inside looked a bit empty, I stamped a sentiment from the April 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts in two layers of Rich Cocoa Memento ink (it looks very dark!) and then another poodle from the same kit in London Fog Memento ink. I then added V22, V25 and V28 to the bow and also Cosmic Stickles.
Here is the inside of the card:

As mentioned above, I have die cut a banner from black glitter core cardstock and then also a balloon from pink glitter core cardstock and the sting in black glitter core cardstock. The banner is the Pennant Banner from Close to My Heart and the balloon and string are one of the die cuts included in the August 2019 Club La-La Land Crafts kit.
I have adhered the banner on to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions, then adhered the coloured image, along with the balloon and string. Then to fit with the sketch I have added a line of Cosmic Stickles on the left under the balloon.
