Something to Perk You Up

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  This one came together pretty quickly with MFT's Coffee Cup die.

I assembled the to-go cup die cut pieces together and used foam tape to adhere them to a light blue die cut tag with pierced circle edging.  The "something to perk you up" sentiment from the Perk Up set was stamped beneath the cup in brown pigment ink.  I adhered the tag to a light blue patterned paper panel wrapped with a piece of twine.  A little bow at the top of the tag added a whimsical touch.  I adhered the patterned paper panel to a white card base.  For a contrasting pop of color, I die cut a small heart from red cardstock and adhered it to the cup's sleeve.
