I have been wanting to imitate a card I received several years ago that had a real teabag tucked into a teacup, and this challenge was the perfect opportunity! None of the teacup stamps I have are big enough to accommodate a teabag, so I traced the one on the original card and used that as a template. I drew the teacup in pencil on white cardstock, then went over it with black microline pen, adding the flowers and trim and fussy cut. Colored the flowers with blue and green marker and added gold for the trim. Embossed a strip of white and fussy cut along the edge. Used an X-Acto knife to cut a slit along the rim of the cup and tucked in a bag of my favorite tea, Earl Grey.

You drew this? You did a great job. . . I was looking to see what stamp it was so I could maybe get one! Having the tea bag inside it puts this fun card over the top! Love it.
