I just love this set. It is so perfect for many situations. I started wtih a plain white base and a patterned background. I chose to stamp and die cut the teapot and a flower cluster from the set.
I colored each with Copic markers. I lightly sponged the background in a soft yellow. I added some foam dimensionals to pop up each image.
I fell in love with this sweet sentiment. A great one for a coworker or friend who has to endure long hours at the office to get a project completed. A great pick-me-up motivational card with the added bonus of a cup of tea or coffee in hand, of course. I finished my card with a tiny touch of bling on the flower.

Your card is so soft and pretty. Rarely do I think about adding a black print, especially with pastels but it works so beautifully with it. Love the soft yellow glow and then the teal pot just makes it pop! It'll put a big smile on someone's face.
