I made this card as "take two" on the Flourishes February Release Challenge, What's Your Cup of Tea?, to be inspired by the container of your favorite kind of beverages. My favorite type of beverage is hot tea, and my current favorite is Bentley's RASPBERRY White Tea. I was inspired by the package shown in my photo.
I made a card earlier today that I was really pleased with, except that I was slightly embarrassed to realize, after I started stamping, that my image included a STRAWBERRY rather than a RASPBERRY! I also had an idea I wanted to try out: using a salvaged tea bag tag (and string!) as part of my card. That didn't work in my earlier card--the scale was all wrong. So I decided to try another--this time with *raspberries* and the tag.
I colored the collage image (stamped three times using masking) with my Stampin' Pastels. I masked out a bee from the teacup to add my little berry image (and colored that with colored pencils). I added my salvaged Bentley's tea bag tag and popped it and the cut out teacup on dimensionals.
Thanks for looking at my "take two"!
