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!

Sweet Emily this is a perfect card about you! Love those strawberries peeking out of your teacups and the adorable DP that you made. Adorable nesties, punch and embellies...tfs.

I like the balance of this card - how the 3 brads somehow balance the three images and the spotlighted berry at the bottom. I like the border punch at the edges and how you punched out the images in a fun shape rather than just a square. Berry nice card (sorry, couldn't resist).
