Just Us Girls challenge #841 - Mood Board Week

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I am back to share my card for this week's Just Us Girls challenge and it's Mood Board Week and Vicki has a beautiful board to inspire us this week. There are so many gorgeous details on the mood board to choose from this week and I'm sure this is going to be a really popular week. I cannot wait to see all your gorgeous creations.

A closer look at the mood board:

Isn't it a beautiful mood board?  The neutral colours are gorgeous with lots of images to be inspired by; will it be the coffee cup, the houses, the cute dog or maybe the pumpkins.  I can't wait to see what you choose.  I decided to use neutral colours and a coffee theme for my card and I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I hope you like it too.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I took a quick 9 sec video so you could see the legs 'dancing':

I began by cutting a cream card panel 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and a mat layer from brown card and adhered them together with liquid glue.  I stamped three coffee rings using dark brown ink and some coffee beans using a lighter brown ink.  I decided to use this fun interactive 'dancing' die from Spellbinders and cut all the various pieces from coloured card from my scraps bin.  I cut the legs and hands from white card and coloured them with my Promarkers.  I adhered everything together and added it to my card panel using a mix of liquid glue and foam squares.  I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of the cream card using the lighter brown ink and fussy cut it out before adding it across the focal image using foam squares and liquid glue.  I finished off with some self adhesive pearls (although I never trust the self adhesive pads so I peeled them off and added liquid glue!).  The panel was adhered to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another cream panel and brown layer and adhered them together with liquid glue.  I stamped one coffee ring in the bottom right corner and added a die cut coffee cup and a few leaves.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre using brown ink and adhered the panel to my card base using double sided tape.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
