I am submitting this card to this week's Paper Smooches Sparks Trend Watch Challenge. I used the Cyber Café stamp (which is one of 2 Paper Smooches stamps that I own) to create the elements in this card. The techniques I used to make this card is mirror stamping to create a flower vase from the cup solid stamp. I heat embossed, paper pieced it, applied embossing ink, embossing powder, then heat embossed it again. This seems to hide the imperfections of my paper piecing. I colored the outline coffee bean stamp using Copic markers & paper pieced it. This served as my flower petals. For the leaf, I used the tea leaf stamp, colored it & paper pieced it as well. I glued the tips only so I can fold the petals to make it dimensional. I did some masking on my sentiment stamp to create a 1-lined sentiment instead of using the original 2-lined sentiment. And this is the result...

Close-up of the flowers. I used Ink of Stella to line the middle of the flowers & leaves. I used Glossy Accents for the center of the flowers.
I used vellum to stamp & heat emboss my sentiment.
