Make sure to leave a comment along the way for your chance to win a $25 SugarPea Designs Gift Card!! Commenting closes on Saturday, June 15th at 11:59pm Pacific. The winner will be announced on the CLC blog the following week!
I made two cards featuring the Coffee To Go Cup die! While Coffee might be in the name, you can easily use it for tea cups like I did! I'm not going to go into a lot of details for the hop!
For both cards I made my tea cups, but using my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color the die cut cup brown. I used a coffee die cut from MFT to cut the ice cubes, using a gray marker to add some shading. The straws are from the pattern papers I used.
With my first card I used Photo Play Paper Summer Daydreams collection adding a stripe pattern to a card base. Then I used a few stickers from the collection, adding them with foam tape. I also added one of the SugarPea tea cups that I made.
I finished the card off with the SugarPea tea cup on some vellum and a tea sentiment below. Last, I added the inked panel to a white card base!
