A big CONGRATS to Jean! The newest Featured Stamper! Jean has such a big, wonderful gallery and I wanted to case many but I chose THIS to case. I love the tea theme so I kept that but since it was also a card Jean did for another FS challenge, I changed most everything else.
I die cut the teapot & teacup in white, then lightly embossed them only on lt yellow card stock. I used yellow & yellow/orange Copic markers to add some additional color to the embossed yellow roses, then trimmed to fit under the white die cut versions. I came across a previously die cut white oval frame & used the same Copics to add color to match. I did the same with the larger, yellow/orange mat. The printed paper was added underneath for contrast. On the larger piece of designer paper, I stamped the tea border with the distress ink and added some of the yellow/orange color to it as well. The layout is a bit non-standard but I had some pieces of dp left so I used them. One word of the tea border was stamped on white & I used a multi tag punch to punch out the one little “tea bag” tag to add to the cup. I added a printed navy Candi dot in the upper left for balance.
Thanks so much for looking! Congrats again, Jean, enjoy your week! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

well, seems like I was just saying you do blue and white in a spectacular way, Julie! The addition of yellow here just takes this over the top stellar!!! Love the DP with the different teas and the tea tag...oolong, not for the dainty! I love it's big bold flavor.
Awesome card
