Last year I had created a pretty Christmas Tea box (see this post for all the details), so I knew it would work again for this gift too. The set is the beautiful Christmas Tea from Flourishes.
Here is the bookmark....I hadn't watercolored for SOME time, but I pulled out the brush and reinkers/markers for this one. I'm a little out of practise! I also added some Lumiere overtop of the cups (you might be able to see the shimmer), it gives them the feeling of real china. I masked the cups with Eclipse masking tape and then sponged the cups heavily with Razzleberry ink, you can really see the texture of the watercolor paper with the sponging.
A pretty little set for the Birthday Girl!
Thanks for dropping by today, I'll be back again with something tomorrow!
