For my card, I started with a Cups Duo die cut that was leftover from one of my projects for the Dirty Dozen this month. I loved this fun striped paper, and decided to add one of the images from this stamp set to it. I masked off the paw holding a fish because I didn't think it was going to fit the feel of my card, then colored with Copic markers, giving him a striped tail to coordinate with the stripes on the cup.  I love how the Cups Duo die cuts perfectly match the images in this set, making paper piecing a cinch!

Next I pulled out the Great Outdoors stencil. I am completely smitten with the clouds on this stencil, and decided to do them up in pink, knowing I had the perfect sentiment to go with the cloud theme. They blended up so soft and fluffy with the Big Beautiful Blending Brush and spun sugar distress oxide.

I finished off with a white circle cut with the Round Flower Duo Die and matted with a circle cut with the Spring Tree Duo Die. I blended a bit of pink in the center and then stamped the freshly brewed heaven sentiment. A few dots around the circle and some silver stardust gel pen accents on the cup finish things off.
