You Warm My Heart

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  It was a chilly, dreary, rainy day when I made the card, so its coffee theme seemed fitting.

I die cut the coffee cup using MFT's Die-namics Coffee Cup die and assembled it on a pink chevron patterned pierced circle die cut.  The to-go cup's lid was adhered with foam tape for dimension.  I matted the chevron circle on a dark brown circle, then adhered the image panel to a kraft cardstock panel.

I stamped the "you warm my heart" sentiment from the Perk Up set in brown pigment ink on a narrow pink cardstock strip, then used foam tape to adhere it over the to-go cup.  To bring in a pop of contrasting color, I added a small red heart to the sleeve on the cup and arranged a pair of red enamel dots underneath the sentiment strip.  I layered the finished panel on to a pink card base to match the sentiment strip.
