For my card, I went very simple and let my stencils do the work.
I masked off an area on a square Grout Gray card base and stenciled over this gorgeous Penelope Dee stencil with white embossing paste. After I removed the stencil and masking tape I sprinked on some glitter and set it aside to dry.
The coffee cup was stamped and colored quickly with Copics and cut with my Scan n Cut. I added the face from another stamp set. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of Grout Gray and added a strip of black underneath to help it stand out from the card base.
And that was it!
I hope you'll head over to the challenge blog and check out the gorgeous cards from the rest of the DT.
