Summer Lovin'...Tea helps!

Hey there coffee/tea/cocoa loving stampers!  I'm excited to join the fun for another round of hops, hops, hops!  WOOP!  For my first project, I created a pretty/Summery tea card using one of the newest Pinkfresh Studio stamp sets that I purchased from Super Sponsor Butterfly Reflections, Ink.  This set is called Tealightful Day and it's one of the most adorable "doodly" tea sets I've seen in some time.  I love the mix of florals and cute little animals as well as the fun geometric elements and great handwritten sentiments.  Here, take a look:  

This card was just too fun to create.  I first started out by creating the background on some watercolor paper with Nuvo Shimmer Powder.  This is similar to some other powders on the market but has an added pearlescent mica so that the paper just shimmers!  I used a combination of Atlantis Burst and Solar Flare for the background and then went to town on the cup and flowers with Catherine Wheel, Cherry Bomb and Solar Flare.  I colored the leaves with a green Copic marker.  I finished the card off with some Nuvo Crystal Drops (Ivory Seashell).  

Can I tell you how much I love Tonic products?  Yeah, I really do.  I think I would marry it!  LOL.  I cut the background panel out with a new Reverse Confetti die called Stitched Squares Confetti Cuts.  It's a great collection of squares with multiple stitch lines.  LOVE IT!  

Alrighty!  Isn't this just scrumptious?  YUMMO!

Thanks for popping by today.  I will be back again tomorrow with another fun creation featuring another fun new stamp set!  See you then!
