Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer Hop: It's Tea Time!

Hello there crafty peeps!  It's Itchin' Inker Kerry here and I'm poping in to share a card I created for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring/Summer Hop that is in full swing!  Did you know that my fellow Itchin' Inker Elaine is a SUPER SPONSOR for this hop?  She is offering a fabulous prize to one lucky hopper?  Yes!  Elaine is offering THIS bundle to one lucky winner!
Coffee Helps Bundle:  Value:  $30.50 USD
How do you have a chance to win the prize?  Well, just play along with us and create a coffee/tea/cocoa loving card inspired by SPRING/SUMMER and you'll have a chance at winning!  Amy Tsuruta will choose a winner from all entries at the end of the hop.  Yes, there are over 80 Super Sponsors ready and waiting to award prizes, so get to stamping!  Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see all the deets for the hop!
To create this card, I used a few of my favorite things from Fun Stampers Journey.  Here's a link to everything:
Embossing Folder (incentive folder)
Washi Tape (incentive washi tape)

This was such a fun card to create.  I enjoyed lifting the impression of the Embossing Folder from the Gel Plate! Adding color was the second step!  After that, it was stamping the teapot and distressing it with denim ink and my dauber.  I also distressed the treat label die with bubble gum ink before stamping the sentiment with black licorice ink.
To finish the card off, I tucked some kraft colored paper under the label to add a bit more texture.

I hope you are inspired by this card.  it is totally fun to create with the Gel Press and I encourage you to get yours out (if you have one) and get inky!  PS...If you don't have one, hop over to Elaine's shop and grab one today!
