Christmas Tea with Me.....

Hello everyone: The Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge has a really fabulous sketch and I used it to create this cheery Christmas card.


This image is from a retired Flourishes set called Christmas Tea, I stamped it onto Canson water color paper  with Versafina Onix Black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I use SU markers and the aqua painter to color it.  Having a cup of tea in one of this cups must taste delicious.


I love the beautiful Holiday detail on this cups, I think they are so elegant. The pattern paper is from Lili of the Valley and, unfortunately their line of beautiful papers is discontinued, I was lucky to grab about ten 8"x8" pads when they announced they were not bringing them back, (sigh).
The sentiment is from my stash but the little Holy and Berries are from this set.
Here is a picture of the finished inside of my card.


The inside sentiment and the little cup are also from the set.
Here is the sketch that inspired my card, which has some modifications to accommodate my image.
Hope it's ok.

Oh those are precious stamps I love dishes and the cardinal would make my husband smile he loves that bird! Beautiful selection of paper too bad they thought it shouldn't be offered any longer!

Patti, this stamps are so pretty, they are one of my very first Flourishes set I bough like in 2011 and they are timeless.
It's indeed so sad that they are not offering this paper anymore on their web store, I was indeed lucky I grabbed this pads.
Thank you for visiting.
Hugs.
