Hi! This card was made for todayÂ’s Sketch Challenge.
Last evening, I was CRAVING hot teaÂ…And, Speedy the Cat, so it seems, was too! LOL! As I was pouring the hot water into my mug, he jumped up onto the counter and knocked over the candy jar! Little peppermints landed all over the kitchen!
SoÂ…. I decided to combine these sets from There She Goes. I have been trying to come up with a Christmas Gift card that would work for a TEA gift, so, this is it! LOL!
The mug was stamped in Noir Black Palette Hybrid Ink onto watercolor paper. I used SU! markers to color in the image and then blended with an aqua painter. I cut out the mug and adhered it to the panel with foam tape.
The peppermints were stamped twice in Real Red. I cut out a stick from each stamped image and then OUTLINED it in Black marker.
The designer paper was HEAVILY sponged with Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel.

Beautiful! The peppermint and tea look so inviting. Love the snowflake embelly on the teacup. You should consider writing children's books featuring Speedy the Cat! You have a wonderful imagination.
