The image is by our sponsor SquiggleFly - "Women Are Like Tea Bags." You get 3 images, the tea cup, a tea pot and this sentiment which I put inside the card:
I have a thing for tea. We are tea drinkers, no coffee in our house. I'll be using the tea pot image soon for sure. I'm a complete pushover for tea stamps and digi images!
The cardstock is Recollections. I made my own background paper, stamping the dark green CS with snow flakes using CTMH Olive ink. I colored the image with Sharpies and used a Copic Colorless Blender for the very first time. (It was a Christmas gift.) It's hard to see that I used my Clear Wink of Stella pen to add sparkle to the tea in the cup, the vapors rising from the cup, and the saucer. Love that Wink of Stella!
I'm entering these challenges: Card Makin' Mamas #78 - Anything Goes; Keep It Simple #30 - Anything Goes; and One Crazy Stamper - January Anything Goes.
Stay warm while you create your project for this week's challenge!
A fabulous card Sheila - absolutely LOVE the sentiment!

Hi,this is a beautiful card,I love this green cup!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia..I just love the simplicity of your card. So well done and so classic. It just gives me a warm and calm feeling when i look at it. Great job! Its been great working on the team with you. Go team A!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the three dimensional snowflakes you added - and the coloring of the cup with sharpies and a Copic blender is a first for me! Never knew they would work together! That highlight on the front of the cup with yellows is well done. Also like what you did with the steam Sheila.

Great design for the challenges, Sheila! I love that background paper you made and I totally love what that Wink of Stella does for a card!! I'm not a tea drinker, but my DIL gave me that verse in an 8x10 frame which I love and have hanging on my wall! Enjoy that tea and stay warm!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteSheila, I have to agree a nice cup of tea is the better choice. My favorite is Chai tea. I like it that you chose to make your own DP. It looks great! I look forward to getting to know you better as we design together at 613 Ave Create. Many blessings prayed for you!

I love uplifting cards, and this one is wonderful. The snowflake bg turned out great, and is the perfect bg for a hot cup of tea. We`ve had an unusually cold week here, too. Sharing a cup of tea with a friend would be a nice way to add a little warmth around here. :)
ReplyDeleteSo true, isn't it?! Love that you decorated the inside of the card, too. Tea with friends is a wonderful way to warm up...Thanks for sharing with us for the Anything Goes Challenge on the Card Makin' Mamas Challenge Blog!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you again soon!
