One Cup at a Time

 

I'm linking up one project to the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop on the

very last day, just under the wire. Thank goodness for DST. I think I made it.

 

Here's my card, using a panel of stenciled flowers that wasn't perfect but

works out fine for a ceramic coffee cup.

I've been playing with layered stencils and Altenew's Hill Blossoms arrived 

together with their detailed blending brushes. I am super messy, no matter how

much I mask. So a smudged panel was cut with a Marianne Design mug die

and inked around the edges.

 

I ran a kraft card base through an old embossing folder for a bit of texture, and

remembered to stamp the sentiment before that for a better impression.

I trimmed the panel a bit to let the cup extend beyond the edges, then

popped up the mug.

 

Thanks to Amy, and her Coffee Crew for another successful hop!

Edited to add: My card was chosen as a Designer Pick by Helen!

Thank you so much!
