Expresso My Gratitude!

I have a new card to share today that I just LOVE!  I am always looking for cool ways to present gift cards at Christmastime or for general "thank you's."  Well, once I saw this month's PI stamp set, I just KNEW I had to try having her hold last month's coffee die-namics.  I must say I am thrilled with how this card turned out.  

I am using this week's MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge.  I combined this sketch with this week's Color Throwdown.  I actually loved working with this color combo.  Refreshing and fun!   

I die cut the PI girl and stamped the coordinating image.  I colored with Copics. I stamped the image again and colored just her arm.  I cut her arm out with scissors.  I glued the assembled coffee cup die-namics in place and added the extra arm and hand.  I accented the cup with one of the quilt squares from the new Blueprints 20!  Love it!  I just love me some Blueprints, anyway! Now, it looks like this PI girl is presenting someone with a trenta cup of coffee!  Love it!
