Flourish Frame (new)
COTTAGE CUTZ

Cup of Java/Hearts
I cut this out 3 times in green...
I popped dotted between each layer the back layer is also popped off the page... the front layer I cut the handle off the cup and the top coffee part off the cup to give the cup a better 3D effect.
I cut the die cut once in dark brown and once in light brown for the "coffee"... for this I used small scraps and placed only over the coffee cut.
Once in off white for the swirls and the hearts again I used small scraps for this and only cut the parts I needed.
I had green extra green swirls and hearts from cutting my coffee cups I used these extra pieces to embellish the inside of the card.
Lots and lot of brown ink and also Olive ink.
