I made these three for the Tea For Two swap.
I used some fancy cardstock for the beackgrounds which reminded me of a pattern you might see on a tea cup. Next I embossed strips of paper with a cozy knits embossing envelope and tore the edges for added texture. The focal point was stamped on card stock, cut with a dye, edges inked, and then colored with alcohol markers. For the sentiment I used white embossing powder on black card stock and a fancy die for the shape.
I only got one process pic, alas.
