Friends of Unity~ November is Strength



Hey there, what's brewin'?? 
Welcome back to this months Hop!
Our girl Dawn suggested the cue for this month,
Strength
I think that most of Unity's sentiments are about 
strength and encouragement, it it was an easy choice for me, 
to pick the newest member of the Angie's Girl family 💖 
I used Emerson Girl
  She's on sale right now for only $10.00!! 
Emerson Girl

As you've figured out by now, I'm a huge coffee fan!!
So, I went with  a Not So serious take on "strength"
Without coffee in the mornings, I really do feel like a slug!
So for me, coffee inspires strength 
My friend Java Joanne from Stampin' Funn on FB sent me a stamp that says
"Be strong, I whisper to my coffee"  LOL ;) 
Here's her

Ok, enough chit chat from me. Onto this card

I started out with a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of dark gray cardstock
I stamped it with the new Brutus Monroe Hit The Brick 
background stamp 
 using Versafine, and heat embossed it with white embossing powder
I love the result so much!
I paper pieced Emerson's outfit, and colored her face and hair with Copics
The sign "came to me" while loading the dishwasher~LOL.
So, I decided to cut out the words on the sentiment to add to the sign.
I love the "grunge" feel of this card
The "Coffee" word die is from CAS-ual Friday's .
I had no idea where this card was going...so, after many, many messages between me, and Eileen, I ended up using a cranberry colored card base, and matted the gray onto black. 
I cut a scalloped circle, then assembled the card.. 
I hope you like this months card!!

  22. I am blown away with what you did with the brick back ground on this one. The little easel you used to frame your sentiment scores and is perfect for this layout and give it a very modern big city feel. Great job!
