1) Today's sketch challenge, SC267, using this sketch: SC267 by SCSketches at Splitcoaststampers
and
2) The Flourishes February Release Challenge, What's Your Cup of Tea?, to be inspired by the container of your favorite kind of beverages.
Well, my favorite type of beverage is hot tea, and I recently discovered Bentley's White Tea, my current favorite. I was inspired by the package shown in my photo.
After looking at the tea bag wrapper, I knew that this little tea cup image (retired, The Angel Company) I had would be perfect for this card. However, I had it stuck in my head that those were little raspberries in this set, and it wasn't until I stamped the images that I realized that they are actually strawberries! Oops!!! Ah, well, I guess they are all in the same family
The images are colored with colored pencils. I created the white background paper by stamping the little berry image again and again.
Inside the card it reads "It's the little things that make life BIG. Happy Birthday!"
This was such fun to make. Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Well, you could have fooled me that they were strawberries...they look like they could be either...how nice, your stamps have twice the potential!! Absolutely lovely, the regal rose gives your images such a pretty, soft, and yet delicate look...and to me, that's what tea and teacup are all about...very sweet!!

Again, Emily, another true winner. I love that SCS sketch and I see you also qualified for the Flourishes challenge!!! Way to go. My mom is British and she would LOVE cards like this. I may have to invest in some tea stamps! You did an incredible job with both challenges!! TFS!
