I made and cut the oval on my Silhouette. The cup is a digital die from the Silhouette store called "coffee cup gift card set" It can be made into a card itself, but I shrunk it for the occasion. I cut it on white cardstock and then traced it out onto a real coffee cup sleeve and the cup is an oatmeal paper from Lily Bee Design. I stamped the text with the stamp set that came with the Anna Griffin collection (see the InLinkz above) in Distress inks, "Old Paper" and "Gathered Twigs". The cup and oval are shaded a bit with the same inks. I wrote my little poem with Calibri font in Word and printed it on the white cardstock. Lastly, I adhered the cup on with foam.
This card is entered in the following challenges:
