Love the sketch, but the circles gave me a little trouble. I see now that maybe the circles weren't supposed to overlap. Oh well.
I stamped the latte cup (IO), made a template of the circle die and lightly penciled around the image. The top part of the image I cut around w/ a craft knife so I could slip the circle die underneath it so it wouldn't get chopped off. Then I cut and embossed the nestie as usual. Roxie and I have had an ongoing discussion about our different methods of doing this nestie out of the box thing. I promised I would do a tutorial as a pic is worth a thousand words. So, I took pics as I did this one and hopefully, I'll have tutorial to go w/ this tomorrow. Here's the tutorial: Out of the Box Nestie Technique
Anyway, I stamped the rows of diamonds (SG) on the bottom band and more on the two pieces that became my overlapping circles. I colored everything w/ Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol (Odorless Mineral Spirits).
On the m.mustard layers, I used an emery board to sand the edges. I placed one of these layers behind my latte cup then attached it, slightly lower, to the negative frame left when I cut it out (I placed a rect nestie around the circle when I cut it.)
I used the scallop nesties to cut a r.red frame for my image and also the greeting. TFL and I'll get this up a little later on my blog. The Write Stuff
