Thanks a latte

Supplies used :

Cardstock : Fall and Halloween combo matstack, Chocolate Brown, White, Simple Stories 6x6 paper pack.

Stamp Set : Thanks a latte clear stamp set

The design layout for this card is from this weeks Mojo Monday card sketch challenge. This weeks challenge was to make a tall and skinny card that is 3.5 x 5.5. There are a few ways you can make your card this size. However, the way I did it is simply this......I took a regular size (5.5 x 4.25) blank pre-folded card, measured the 4.25 side to 3.5 and cut off the excess...making it a 3.5 x 5.5 card that opens from the left side instead of the bottom side.

You can find this card challenge at http://www/mojomonday.blogspot.com. 

Now, I wasn't exactly trying to use a "Fall" type background, but I thought this kind of printed cardstock was too pretty to not use as my main background and first layer. 

For my second layer, I used a brown and white striped paper from my Simple Stories paper pack.

For my third layer, I used a checkered cardstock paper from my Fall and Halloween combo matstack. The next layer is just a white square.

The latte cup and the sentiment are both from the Thanks a latte clear stamp set. Now, since I don't actually have this stamp set, I googled it on google images, saved it to a file on my computer, and then brought the saved image into my Windows Paint program where I colored it in, re-saved it, printed it, and cut it out by hand. Then I used double-sided adhesive mounting circles to put them on my card, making my card complete.
