So, I seen this photo in the tea inspiration board and it reminded me that I wanted to try that Bokeh looking background so, this is for both. the watercolor paper was colored with shades of artbars a few weeks ago and then the yellow and white dots were done with pigment inks. then some yellow inka gold was added to that, plus to the mullberry paper leaves. the center of the teacup also has mulberry paper between the diecuts that was colored with some brown gold inkagold. the leaves are only on with glue dots so they can flutter a little. the yellow tag is some kind of coated paper from MS (staples) and so, the sentiment was heat embossed after I realized it was starting to smear. tried adding some krylon pen to the silver edges of the tag but, it wiped right off so it got some gold enamel on the edges instead. Thanks for this challenge Audrie, & tfl. There is a closer look on the blog seen here.

Really unique bg for your golden teapot and cup. I like the idea of the leaves fluttering...cool idea. And the golden pearls indicating the steam off the tea is so creative. Fabulous intrepretation of your inspiration piece.

This is phenomenal, Stacy and the process sounds SO fun to do! Love your simulation of steam and the warm earth tones you chose for this. How gorgeous this is!
