Sometimes simple is the way to go.
I love the look of wide open white space with a simple design popping out at you. I saw this card recently and knew I wanted to recreate it using Stampin' Up! products.
Using the new "Sip by Sip" stamp set, I randomly stamped the coffee cups in Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, and Garden Green.
TIP: Use markers to isolate each coffee cup as I did here (the cups are on one stamp block - image below). For the blue cups, I just inked the end cup carefully using the ink pad, making sure not to ink the middle cup.
The strip of paper running across the top is from the new "Sweet Slumber Specialty" Designer Series Paper collection. This paper is AWESOME!! It is a new 100 lb textured cardstock... and the prints are so fun! I can't wait to work with it some more.

Hmmm . . . I see you didn't take a blogging break! Maybe you meant coffee break? I absolutely love the clean style of this card. Very cool how you inked up each cup.
Hugs, Auntie
