Happy National Tea Day for all of you that love tea!

For my card today, I wanted to create an inviting table scene for someone to enjoy a cup of tea.
I began this card by stamping out a few of the images from the Sweet Latte set onto Bristol paper and then colored them in using Zig markers. I did a little bit of masking to add the teaspoon to the side of the teacup and fussy cut that out, and then used the coordinating dies to cut out the rest of the images.
Next, I did some dry embossing to add texture to my cardstock using the Mandala Stencil and running it through the Sizzix die cutting machine with an embossing mat. I then took the embossed piece and die cut the piece using the Dotted Pattern Set 3 dies to create a window for my scene.
To the background of what is the card base, I blended out a very subtle glow using Squeezed Lemon Distress Oxide ink and then began building the scene. The first piece I glued down was the patterned paper for a tablecloth and then added all the pieces to the table using foam tape to pop them up. I also stamped the hearts and steam to the background, colored those in and added some glossy accents. Lastly, I added the embossed frame using foam tape to create a window.
For the sentiment, I stamped out the many sweet thanks onto the dotted rectangle from the Dotted Patterns Set 2 and trimmed the edges to slide behind the tea kettle.
Hope you found some warmth and comfort in my card today, have a wonderful weekend and for those of you celebrating National Tea Day with us...
Cheers to you!
