Coffee Loving Papercrafters

I’ve got another Fall project today, featuring stenciling with my Ranger Ink Oxides.  I’m not one to wish the summer days away, (because each day is a gift) but I am sort of, kind of, alright, yes, I am wishing Fall would hurry!  I’m inspired by my crafty peers creations and I hope this one inspires you today.  Stick around for a few minutes because I’m also talking about butter coffee.  Yes!  Butter Coffee!

I’ve had the Bo Bunny Falling Leaves stencil in my stash and thought this would be the perfect time to break it out.  It’s a stickable stencil, so you can use it on glass jars or other surfaces.  I inked up my stencil with my Ranger Ink Vintage Photo and Spiced Marmalade Oxides, then splattered with water and blotted with a paper towel.

The colored and die cut owl is from the Gina K Designs Wise Old Owl set and I stamped in Memento black ink, heat dried, then watercolored with my oxides, adding Fossilized Amber distress ink to the owl.  I also used my Arteza glitter pens for a little sparkle.  I cut my stenciled frame using Spellbinders Celebration pierced square dies and created a vellum overlay that has 28 Lilac Lane sequins from the Autumn Afternoon kit.  You see the theme running through this project?  The sentiment was heat embossed with Nuvo Hot Chocolate embossing powder.  The buttons and brass leaf are also part of the 28 Lilac Lane kit.  Stop by my blog for full product links.
