Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Here's my card for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I was inspired by the idea of spring showers, which clear to make way for a brighter world.

I die cut a to go coffee cup using cardstock scraps and dies from Lil' Inker Designs. The cup was assembled on a light blue panel with raindrops die cut into it. I used another die to cut a sun from yellow cardstock. The sun was tucked underneath the top of the right side of the to go cup, above the raindrops. I used foam tape to add a pair of die cut silver stitched clouds to the panel, covering the bottom of the sun die cut. The "a brew will help you through" sentiment from Right at Home's How Have You Bean? set was stamped on a cheery yellow cardstock strip that matches the color of the sun. After wrapping the panel with some yellow baker's twine and securing it with a small bow, I adhered the strip to the panel beneath the cluster of images. The finished panel was adhered to a turquoise card base.
