International Tea Day Card

Hello friends! If you follow me on social media, you know I'm an avid tea lover. I typically post my daily steeps in my Stories. Yes, I still love a morning coffee, but tea has my heart the rest of the day! So obviously, I'm bringing you a tea themed card to celebrate International Tea Day. I recently purchased the Sunny Studios stamp set "Afternoon Tea", and this is my second card creating with this set, along with lots of other products from Scrapbook.com. Scroll down for details. You'll find my clickable shopping supply list at the end.

But before moving on, let me share what I'm sipping in the photo. My favorite Masala Chai tea from Vahdam. I've tried lots of chai's and it's my absolute favorite. And in case you're wondering about the teaspoon, I had it customized from a Christian online gift shop last year called Wandering Tulips. It makes a lot of appearances in my tea photos, and the quote I came up with was "Tea Gives Me Wings". 

It's so me!

I'm not sharing tutorial photos today. This card came together quickly with die cutting, stamping and embossing. But, let me tell you about some of the products used to create this card.

I don't have the die set that goes with my tea stamp set. So, I stamped my tea stamp on the Cozy patterned paper with clear emboss ink, sprinkled on Wow Gold embossing powder (tapping off the excess) and heat set. Then, it was simply a matter of hand trimming all around the gold embossing, cutting out the inside portion of the handle with a craft knife.

I also used the Morocco nested die set, the largest one, for the backdrop for my tea cup, pairing it with Vintage patterned paper and also using a dark brown cardstock trim for the "table".

My greenery was die cut from several dies in the Build-A-Bouquet die set, and the brick backing was from the A2 die set called Bricks. I actually dry embossed that die with my Platinum 6 and heavyweight A2 cardstock from Scrapbookcom. Ironically, this is a tea card and that paper is called "Java", haha!

 

Lastly, my sentiment was stamped using Catherine Pooler ink in Cargo and Spiced, and I also splattered lots of white paint around. Oh, and those little dots in the center of my greenery and embellishment to my string and bow? Those are black adhesive foam dots topped with my Pops of Color Orange Creamsicle. It's a very light orange, almost yellow in color.

There you have it. Have a cup of tea today, relax and enjoy life! Thanks for stopping by!

Terri
