Spring Joy

Today we are featuring Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company new set Relax A Bit.  This set is "right up my alley" since I am a tea drinker.  With all of my migraine problems, sometimes I find a cup of tea helps settle my headaches at times, nerves, and generally really help me relax a lot next to stamping.

I started out by stamping my image in memento tuxedo black on Mark's Finest Papers Snow Storm Smooth premium paper and colored with prismacolor markers before lightly stippling Stampin Up! brocade blue around the edges.  I then layered the image on Mark's Finest Papers Cherry Slush, Making Memories English Garden designer paper from my stash, and then Evergreen premium paper before popping it up over some really cool ric rac ribbon with a tea bag charm.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win today's featured set.
