It’s Monday, and I don’t know about you, but I need a little caffeine to get this week started!

My first card features the Tea 4 Two Stamp Set.

After stamping the images with Dare 2B Artzy’s Totally Black Ink, I colored the teapot and cup with Copic markers.  These are the Copic combinations I used: (RV04, RV09, R46), (B00, BG57, BG09), (YR14, YR07, R24), (E35, E37, BV04), and (C00, C1, C3).  Next, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I then used the Oval Framelits to partially die cut the bottom of the card front.

The Circle Framelits were used to cut the Pretty in Pink Paper.  I also added a piece of this paper to the bottom of the inside of the card.  I love how you can see this pretty paper even when the card front is closed!

If you are not a tea lover like me, maybe my second card will be more to your liking!

After stamping the cups from the Perfect Blend Stamp Set, I used Post-it Tape to mask off the center of the card.  I then stamped the cup with flowers from the Blossom Stamp Set.  Masking is one of my favorite techniques!

The cups were then colored with the following Copic combinations: (BG13, BG05, BG09), (Y00, Y04, Y08), (YG13, G43, G02), and (C00, C1, C4).  The cups were then die cut with the Cup Die.

After cutting the Bizzy Blooms Paper with the stitched rectangle from the Leaf Background Die, I stamped the fun sentiment from the Tall Dark & Rich Stamp Set.  That sentiment always makes me smile!  The bee was die cut from the Artzy Blooms Paper.
