Here’s my card.
I didn’t have anything tea specific, so used Sugar Pea Designs (SPD) Letter Message Board to create a custom punny sentiment. A Whimsy Stamps (WS) 3-in-1 Mitered Frame (middle frame) was then die cut from Kraft cardstock and trimmed down for a narrower frame. The cups/saucers (retired from Poppy Stamps) were die cut from white scraps and ink blended with Kraft or gray dye inks. Thought it would be cute, so stamped the faces (from closed down Your Next Stamp) in black. You could also just draw in the faces. 😉
For the background, the bottom half of an A2 size Bristol panel was masked off and the upper half ink blended with Lumberjack Plaid, Aged Mahogany and Black Soot distress inks (DI) over a brick stencil (retired from My Favorite Things). The glasses (new to me and sadly, already retired from SPD) was die cut from Memory Box Black Glossy paper. Adhered and assembled the card onto a white card base, then added shading under the objects with gray dye ink using a detailed blender brush to ground them. Drew in the steam with a white Posca pen to finish!

Adorable card to illustrate our new challenge at DotMCC, Trina. I love the punny sentiment. A beautiful combination of different brands stuff to create this sweet scene ! Thanks so much for being our talented Guest Designer for this challenge. And Happy New Year !
What a delightful card you've created, Trina. You've cleverly captured the theme with the letterboard. The eyeglasses are a unique touch. tfs
I am just in awe with the depth of color you achieve! No matter how much I try, it doesn’t happen. (sigh). So happy to see your talent! TFS 😀
This is such a cute card, Trina! The depth and your colors are outstanding. The deep red brick adds so much to your design!
