I went to a Card Convention in June and bought several fun new stamp sets. This one is Catherine Scanlon Stacked. I have a friend who loves tea and I thought this would make the perfect Birthday card for her.
I love fancy little teacups so I decided to emboss the cups in gold on Bristol paper. I did a google search for teacups and used the results as inspiration for my color palette. I painted with watercolor markers and then added an embossed sentiment on contrasting black cardstock.
I really enjoyed making this card and think I will try a Get Well card next.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Time Out Food and Drink Challenge
Watercooler Wednesday Feminine Challenge
Seize the Birthday Water Challenge (tea is made with water and the card is water-colored)
Always Happy Birthday Water Challenge (tea is made with water and the card is water-colored)
Update: My teacups were chosen as \”Watercooler Rockers\”!
Thanks for stopping by!
