For today's TLC Challenge, I am challenging everyone to make a slimline card. For my card, I made my digital image as tall as I could and still keep it the right width (a slimline card is essentially 8.5" tall and 3.5" wide.) I colored up my image with Copic markers then did some detailing with Polychromos pencils.
I had a clear stamp set from Sweet N Sassy Stamps that had coffee splashes and spots called Texture Tiles 9 and a sentiment from Coffee Talk 2 that seemed perfect for this not ready for the morning gal. I had a slimline die set in my stash waiting for me to finally give it some love so I layered the image. I used some banner dies to cut out and mount my sentiment.
It was a little harder than I thought it would be to work with a canvas this size using just one image, but in the end, I absolutely LOVE how this came together!

How fun is this! I love your background as a backdrop for that sleepy lady! I have a sister that this card is soooo appropriate for! Love this fun challenge- your slimline is wonderful!

I love how your digital image fills up the card. I never thought of that for slimline, but I don’t use digital very often and I should because I have some really cute ones. Fun challenge today and super cute card!

I am a morning person but I do love my coffee, although I don't think it really affects me one way or another. This is a very fun image, reminds me of my Mom in the morning. She was not a morning person and she drank coffee all day long.

She's a hoot (looks like me, sorry to say!) drinking her first cuppa right out of the pot!! Love the coffee stains you added (you should see my bathrobe......oh wait, maybe not!!!)
