WSC92: Tea?

 

This is my sample for my Weekend Sketch Challenge #92 <-- you can find the sketch there (one post below this one).  I thought these Basic Grey Ambrosia papers had a nice warm Fall-ish feel to them and I enjoy drinking hot tea in the Fall/Winter, so I thought it would be a perfect compliment to Karen Lockhart's Tea Bag (#2066) image.

 

This image is the perfect size for an Inchie Arts White Inchie Square ... minus the bag's string!  So I decided to run it off the Inchie, using some embroidery floss.  I stamped the image on the Inchie Square with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it with these Copic markers:

Copics blend beautifully on the museum-quality of the Inchie Squares -- just like butter!  I framed the Inchie with a Spellbinders Labels One Nestabilities die cut.  This card is 4.50" square, so it will still fit in a regular A2-sized envelope.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch challenge. If you do, please be sure to add a link to your project on the WSC92 post below this one.

I have soooooo much trouble finding the right adjectives to describe what I think of your work. Today I'll use a song title; "You Light Up My Life"!! That's what your unbelieveable and phenomonal work does to me. What a blessing you are. TFS.
