Hi sweet friends!
I'm a bit late for the tea party :)
It's the time that we Dueling Darlings post our cards using
the fun theme of "What's your Brew - coffee or tea?"
It's no secret I'm a huge Starbucks fan!
In fact, I'm pretty sure I have financed the college of one barista's kid
and should probably have my own "Parking for Kelly" sign outside our local store!
I love, love, LOVE me some Starbucks ♥
But I love a good cup of tea as well,
especially being that my mum is English :)

So ... for today's brew, my card is using a MFT "You're my cup of tea" image
rather than the coffee image that was sent by Kadie
inside this absolutely scrumptious card kit!
From the gorgeous papers to the wonderful embellishments,
there was so much to play with with. My eyes kept drawing towards
the softer, homespun colors and the gorgeous teacup paper.
I colored the image to match and framed it.
It felt a little busy so I added some enamel dots,
paper pieced the tea cup and left it at that.
The Dazzlers, with team Paola, have a different coffee/tea image
so our duel is officially on! You can find them all in my sidebar
to see the fabulous cards of the Divas and the Dazzlers.
No matter what the 'brew',
it's nice to have a cuppa with a friends!
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

ReplyDeleteThis is adorable Kelly! Great colors. I love Dunkin donuts coffee myself :)
ReplyDeleteYour image is so cute....now, that's a big cup! I could put tea or Diet Dr. Pepper in there and be very happy. I've tried to drink coffee but just can't like it.
ReplyDeleteYour frame is gorgeous and the card is awesome. Your paper with the cups is perfect, also.
Have a good St. Patrick's Day.
I am such a tea lover (I stick with plain ole black tea though...... ) I LOVE the sweet image and the DP- where do you find these papers that are always perfect? Love your softer color too!

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, your card is fun and not at all busy says the grunge lady! I love coffee too, no Starbucks here but instead our very own Idyll Hours Blend.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before but here it is again...your ability to blend your paper designs is super duper!
Gosh this is fantastic! Love your design and fabulous coloring of the image. The frame rocks!
ReplyDeletePretty card! I like the pretty patterned papers that you chose!
ReplyDeleteI'll drink some tea from time to time. But I would much rather have coffee anyday!
