SC612: this week's sketch challenge is pretty much what you see here.
DDABC10T: This week's alphabet challenge letter is T and the double challenge was to make the card reflect something from our day. (See post 2502 on the alphabet challenge for more details.)
I had some delightful French vanilla tea today so I made a tea card. To get the circular horizontal element of the sketch challenge, I punched 7/8" scallop circles and then glued them together. I stamped the tea bag on each circle and sponged the outer edge of the circles. The stack of teacups from the Morning Cup set wasn't quite tall enough (in my opinion) so I added the single cup to the top of each stack then colored them with SU markers. I also sponged these panels. I popped the top panel with dimensionals.
Thanks for looking!

Oh I love this! One of my favourite stamp sets and certainly one of my favourite beverages! I love the creative way you expanded the use of the images! Beautiful colours; love the DP's too!

It's fun that a drink of flavored tea sparked your inspiration for this card, Catherine. Love the soft feminine colors of the pink and green and you totally carried out the tea theme with your images, DPs and tea bag band. Terrific!!

This is very creative. Love your papers and the little tea bags dancing horizontally across. I like how you think outside the box by adding an extra tea cup because you wanted more height!

It has all been said, twice I think. I like everything about this card. Definitely makes me want to drink a cup of tea, although at 91 degrees F, it would have to be iced tea. TFS!
