Back from vacation and glad to be uploading a card..seems it has been too long. I made this card for the Flourishes challenge FTTC 23, http://www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/ and the challenge was to cut out and pop up. I used one of Flourishes coffee cups from one of their stamp sets. Made my own steam with piercing as I was having a hard time cutting out my stamped steam. Cut out, popped up, and paper pieced the cup.
It is also for StampinB's challenge #13 to use metal.
I really didn't like my metal ribbon slider with the pearls but hope it looks o.k.

Welcome back Brenda!! I was surprised to see a new card this morning!! It's so good to see you upload again. I LOVE how you paper pieced that cup. I really love paper piecing!! Lovin' your cutouts, pop ups and pearls and I think the metal slide looks great!!! Hope to see more from you when things settle down!! No collections yet for your computer charity fund I'm sorry to say!! You may have to use that big $5 to buy a new one!! LOL!!! If I had only blessed the $5 before I sent it, it could have turned into at least $500 by now!! LOL!! TFS!
