Hi! This card was made for todayÂ’s Sketch Challenge.
Last evening, I was CRAVING hot teaÂ…And, Speedy the Cat, so it seems, was too! LOL! As I was pouring the hot water into my mug, he jumped up onto the counter and knocked over the candy jar! Little peppermints landed all over the kitchen!
SoÂ…. I decided to combine these sets from There She Goes. I have been trying to come up with a Christmas Gift card that would work for a TEA gift, so, this is it! LOL!
The mug was stamped in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink onto watercolor paper. I used SU! markers to color in the image and then blended with an aqua painter. I cut out the mug and adhered it to the panel with foam tape.
The peppermints were stamped twice in Real Red. I cut out a stick from each stamped image and then OUTLINED it in Black marker.
The designer paper was HEAVILY sponged with Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel.

Can I have Speedy come visit me for a few days? You have the neatest ideas come from him and I sure could use him! Another fun, unique card that has made me smile!

I love what you've been doing with your brads and 'sentiments' lately - this is one yummy card - I wanna take a peppermint stick and swirl it in that mug!

Good Morning, I love this card. The fantastic warm tones, the rich sponging on of the colors, the images. Can I come over and have a cup of tea "well maybe coffee for me". Love the DP's, the brads are just fabulous and I really like the snowflakes with the dewdrops.
LOVE THIS!!!!!
