Tea For Two
Another Saturday brings another wonderful Sketch for You To Try. I don't know how Jen does it, but she keeps designing fantastic sketch after fantastic sketch, week after week after week. This month's line-up is one of the best ever! To see this week's sketch, meet May's superstar guest designer, and see Jen's and the GD's samples, head over to i{heart}2stamp. You'll also want to check out the rest of this week's SFYTT samples:

To play along, add yourself to the Mr. Linky form on Jen's post. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword SFYTT!
I've used Papertrey's new Tea for Two set and a color combo pulled from one of the inspiration photos (Heather's) in Papertrey's current Spring Fling Challenge. The teapot is stamped in Ocean Tides, trimmed out and mounted on a shape cut with Spellbinders' Mega Curved Rectangle Nestabilities. The sentiment is stamped in SU Certainly Celery. The punched border is done with the Fiskars lace punch. I also used Papertrey's Background Basics: Spots & Dots to add the little white circle pattern to the Spring Moss card stock. The button and ribbon are also by PTI.
Are you a tea drinker? If so, what are some of your favorite teas? I'm always looking for new blends to try. My all-time favorite tea is Jasmine, but I also love a really good Earl Grey and most spiced flavors.
Have a fun weekend!

This is so cute! My fave tea is by a company called Revolution. I found it at target. It's a black peach tea. It's great. I like most greens too!
Very sweet card! I love the colors you used and the layout is beautiful! Very inviting.

This is lovely Amy! I just love that Tea pot set - they are SO cute! Your colors are wonderful on this -
my favorite tea is one I just found after buying our Keurig coffee maker - I have to drink decaf so I'm trying all the Keurig cup teas - I just discovered Twinings African Rooibos Red Tea -and I love it!
So so pretty, I just ordered this set and can't wait to get it...
This is gorgeous Amy. I absolutely LOVE mandarin orange green tea by Lipton.. it is so good. I have been struggling with mono and if I had not had this tea for my monorific sore throat...well let's just say it is great. Do I count 9 layers on this card. WOW girl. Great tea lovers card.
Just lovely! I love those colors and that tea set -just yummy! That ribbon/button/twine look is gorgeous!
Look at us, using the same stamp set today, and we share the same first name...I think we are "sistahs" through and through!
I love the way you placed your sketch layers and the decorative punch and piercing looks so good together! Bravo, sister!
Another awesome card, Amy! What a great layout for this image! I a huge Chai girl myself, preferably Starbuck's spicy Tazo chai.
BEAUTIFUL!!! This is such a pretty card (coming from a tea drinker!)
This is beautiful, love the colors and that ribbon is lovely.
Okay...you've done it again. And it's no surprise either. This is GORGEOUS!!! Love the colors, and what you've done with this awesome sketch Amy! WOW!!
WOW! Absolutely stunning! :)
Another awesome creation, Amy! Gorgeous colors and details!!!
God Bless! Angella
Beautiful card Amy! Love how you created your own bg paper with the PTI set and your stitching always adds such beautiful detail.I purchased this tfor2 set also AND made a card for this challenge using the same sketch. Yours is much more elegant though!
I too love tea but here in TX I now almost always drink it chilled. One of my favourites is a blood orange/cranberry that is delicious as an iced tea.
OMG - this is so incredibly PERFECT!! Love the colors, the layout, everything. You are so talented! Thanks for sharing your art and inspiring everyone.
Love your fun colors, stiching and lace border punch! Super job on the spring fling challenge.
It's a good life!

This is so pretty Amy, you are too good!!
such pretty colors and like the piercing with the border punch!
I absolutely love this, Amy!! The colors, stamped cardstock, stitching, embellishments, design, everything is perfect! Love it!
Amy, this is just stunning and so elegant, one can nearly smell the aroma of the tea in the cup. My favourite tea is Rooibos Tea, which is traditional here in South Africa. Hugs from Desire
This is truly a work of art, I just love it!! Your sewing and layering are fantastic, as is the teapot...wowzers!!!
