Lemon Mint Tea

My very sweet friend Julie sent me something so pretty for Christmas, and I've been dying to use it ever since!  I finally was able to use it for today's Inspiration Challenge, a web-store called Nell's Hill.  They had a pretty cup and saucer set that reminded me right away of this stamp. 



This stamp is just GORGEOUS, and so fun to color!  The combination of the saucer, delicate napkin, the tea in the cup and the lemon and mint is so pretty!  I used my prismacolor pencils to give it lots of light and life.

For the other parts of the card I used my brand new Spellbinders Fleur De Lis pendant behind the main image and also my Martha Stewart Rings punch to mimic the lace edging on the napkin.  And LOOK I sewed on the top layer to give it a subtle accent. 




To me it's a little touch of spring.
