How Have You Bean?

Here's my card for the current challenge at The Paper Players. I represented the layout's trio of panels with a trio of to go cups created with the Cup of Joy stamps and dies from Right at Home.

I stamped the to go cups on white cardstock and added a little shading to the images with cool gray Copic markers before cutting them out with the matching dies.  The sleeves were stamped on kraft cardstock scraps and cut out, then placed on the to go cups.  I used foam tape to position the cups on a piece of fun chevron patterned paper adhered to a brown card base.  I didn't measure before I started to stamp and cut the cups, so once I started assembling, I realized I'd need to flip one upside-down to get them all to fit...

For the sentiment, I used a fishtail flag die to cut a strip from cheery yellow paper to match the single yellow stripe on the patterned paper panel.  The "how have you bean?" sentiment from the coordinating How Have You Bean? stamp set was stamped on the strip in black ink. I used more foam tape to place the sentiment over the center and right to go cup, making sure to leave the yellow chevron stripe on the patterned paper visible so that the color choice made sense with my design.
