Two Projects - One Card

You know the saying killing 2 birds with one stone?  Well, that it what this card is for me!  I did the sketch challenge, and I'm sending this into Stampin' Up! for a punch card contest!  All products are Stampin' Up!

Sorry about the crooked picture *rolling eyes*, but hey, the card is still here!  I used chocolate chip, close to cocoa, and very vanilla CS.

I sponged the cocoa base with chocolate ink to soften the edges.  I used the Whirly Twirly wheel in chocolate on the vanilla and used the ticket corner on the two corners.  I matted it on the cocoa and chocolate using the same punch for two corners, as well.  I used my mat pack to line up the 5 aged copper brads on the side, which I sanded using my sanding blocks (I wanted a little more copper to show.)

For the cup and saucer, I punched the large oval in chocolate and the large tag in cocoa, sponging the edges.  For the handle I used the small and large ovals, gluing it to the back of the cup.  I stamped the flower from the Fun With Shapes set (it is actually like a bow, I stamped it 3 times).  I attached this with dimensionals to the "saucer".  I stamped the riveting sentiment on cocoa and punched it with the 1 1/4 circle, matted it on a chocolate circle I punched with the 1 3/8.  I then punched out the center with my 1/2 circle and threaded the gingham ribbon through.  To make sure the sentiment stays in place, I put dimensionals on the back.

This would make a great birthday card for a coffee (or hot chocolate) person, put a gift card inside and you are good to go.  Have fun and happy stamping!!
