This card was made for Tammy's (Feathers&Ink) Tea and coffee swap. I made this set by borrowing a teacup and pansy stamp from a friend's collection (Thanks, Luanne!). The teacup and pansies are from Stampabilities. The tag is from Terrific tags set (SU).
I used my absolute favorite technique -- gamsol technique with my prismacolor pencils, and cut out A LOT. This is a trifold card with a ribbon around like a belly band. The ribbon slides down, and there is a cappucino packet held in by a brad to share with a friend.
I do hope the ladies like this idea. The stamps pretty much take up the entire front of the card, but they are such pretty stamps, I couldn't resist.

Wow Kelly! That is absolutely gorgeous! Nice coloring and amazing cutting. I can't believe all that detailed cutting, but it truly adds to the beauty of the card. Very unique!

Beautiful card, Kelly! I would love to have such a dainty cup of pansies on my desk right now. Great coloring and I really like how you made it a trifold card.
