If you haven't already noticed, I LOVE polka dots, and had fun paper piecing this sweet cup of hot cocoa with PTI's Pure Poppy dsp. I added a bit of Pure Poppy ink around the edges and then finished coloring in the rest of the image with my Copics. Next I die cut the image with a square stitched die and then ran it through an embossing folder from SU! called Winter Snow (retired).
I added some foam tape behind my image and attached to a panel of the same dsp as the cup but turned over for the smaller polka dots and a piece of Pure Poppy cs, before attaching to a white card base that was scored at 5 1/2" and 4". This scoring left a space to add another Pure Poppy panel and a white panel that was embossed with the same Winter Snow ef. I finished by adding some red ribbon and a Tiny Tag from PTI, some red & white baker's twine, and a few PFS Iridescent Clear Drops.
