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 have great taste in tea, LOL, that's my favourite too. And when the company I had been drinking it from all my life till about eight years ago stopped producing it as leaf tea, I had an awful time finding another source of leaf. Great card idea, very pretty teacup.

Love the way you have decorated your teacup with dainty little hand drawn flowers and added the a lace tablecloth. Such a nice addition of the teabag too.
