A Cup of Christmas Cheer

This is the second freebie from the Creative Freebie Challenge on the Outlawz site.  I was trying to think a little outside the box with this one.  I made the image much bigger, then cut it out.  I cropped the flower and made several copies of it.  I then coloured in the cup and 3 copies of the flower, cut them out a decoupaged then onto the cup.  I was originally going to make a card in the shape of a cup, but time was a bit limited so ended up doing an easel card.  Here is the end result:-
