As I stated in my blog post yesterday, this is an industry hop. You and I are not linking a card to participate, we're just hopping from each sponsors post to leave comment's, gush over all the gorgeousness and be inspired.

As a Brew Crew member and former designer for Coffee Loving Papercrafters, I'm just spreading the love because I want to and because these are my people!

I'm an avid tea and coffee lover and most days, I start out with a cup of java, then switch to tea. I prefer loose leaf tea and have lots of infusers, although I do buy tea bags as well. I often share photos and reels in my IG stories and on Tiktok @wavingmywand.

This is my current situation, below. Piper & Leaf is a local tea company in my home state, just a couple hours from where I live. I've been a fan of their tea for years and love all the varieties. I will often drink caffeine free tea in the afternoon and today, I'm sipping on the Orchard Peach. It's one of my faves and is soooo peachy!

Now, let's talk about the Flash Cards. First, I never knew such a thing existed! But then, I was looking around the Pajama Crafters store and stumbled on them. They're A2 sized heavyweight card panels and there are 24 in each pack. Tap this link and type flash cards in the search field. There's almost 20 different collections. I bought the "You're My Cup of Tea" Flash Cards and they're absolutely adorable. 

Let me share a couple brief, creative tips. I really wanted to do some paper piecing so I took a piece of vellum and placed it over my cup, tracing the front of the cup outline with a fine tip black marker. I then used it as a template, laying it on top of my patterned paper and cutting around the outline on my vellum. I was very easy, but not absolutely perfect. I'm still happy with the results though.

I colored all my other images with OLO Markers, using just 4 colors - YO2.2, R0.3, YG2.1, B0.2.

Look closely in the photo above, and you can see where I lightly traced an outline on the inside of my cup, to color in some "water" using B0.2.

Here's a bonus tip: Color all your images first, then color in the "water". It will give added depth to your pre-colored images. I didn't just color water in the empty space, I swiped my marker across the entire space that I sectioned off with my pencil.

To finish off my card I glued some clear sequins and mounted my card panel on some coral colored paper from one of my Scrapbookcom paper pads, Hooray, and mounted to a vertical A2 white card. Please note, I did trim down my flash card and coral paper just a bit, to fit within the dimensions of my A2 white card.

I love how quickly this card came together. It's probably why they're called FLASH cards! Because, you can get done in a flash! PCS is having a Memorial Day sale and everything is 20% off, no coupon code required. Click here to go check out their offerings!

 I hope you all have a good weekend and make time to peruse the blog hop. See you next time!
