Hello again and welcome! It's Sunday, which means it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players! The lovely Joanne is hosting this week and has given us a great sketch!
I had loads of fun coming up with different ideas for this sketch, since any shape could be used, but a chance purchase of a die on sale settled me on the idea of using circles. I also used one of my favorite retired Hero Arts kits to make a fun card.
Don't you think that will make a great Starbucks gift card holder? All I'll need to do is add a pouch on the inside before I send it off, I just ran out of time this week. Anyway, I started with the Repeating Circles die from Simon Says Stamp that created six perfectly spaced circles on the woodgrain panel. On two separate panels of white card stock I inked up the sentiments and coffee cups. The sentiments were then die cut with a circle die slightly smaller in diameter than the openings in the A2 sized woodgrain panel.

The sentiments were then die cut with a circle die slightly smaller in diameter than the openings in the A2 sized woodgrain panel.
The coffee cups were colored with Copic Markers then die cut with matching dies. Next the woodgrain panel was adhered with foam tape to a same size panel of white card stock, and then I did the same with the sentiments and coffee cups. I really didn't have room for a horizontal banner as shown on the sketch, so I wrapped the entire piece with Early Espresso Baker's Twine then adhered it all to the card base. As a final touch I added a bit of crystal glaze to the heart on the cup and used a white gel pen to add cream or foam remnants (?) to the other cups.
That wraps up my card for this week! Thank you so much for visiting, I really appreciate it! I've added a link to the challenge above so I hope you'll join us with your own creative take on sketch!

LOVE those colors..so sharp!!!Great card!
This is adorable! Your coloring is perfecto, and really makes for a stand-out card! Love it!
What a great card for coffee lovers Stef, or as you say it would make a great gift card holder too. The colouring on your cups is really good - it makes them look almost metallic. Love the contrast with the dark brown background too.
An adorable card, Stef! I absolutely love the colors you used for the cups!!! Awesome!
Stef, I am all about coffee, so this card makes me smile! I love your coloring on those beautiful cups! The wood grained paper is perfect! An amazing take on the sketch! Enjoy the rest of the week! XX
