Mornin' y'all! Remember last week on that one blizzardy day when I said I might order some tea? I got that hypothetical tea yesterday and it turned out I was ordering larger packages of each tea than I expected, but hey, bonus tea! So this morning I had to try the one I was most intrigued by--sweet potato pie tea. And really, it DOES taste like sweet potato, which is great because I love sweet potatoes : ) And it's not so heavy on the cinnamon and spices, which I love in baked goods but don't like in teas (I don't get along with chai tea but I usually make a chai spice apple pie every Thanksgiving). So hooray for new tea!
A couple of days ago I talked to my parents and my mom was like "What's up with mushrooms lately?" because I now have address labels with mushrooms on them (multiple designs, even) and I sent them a mushroom card too and guess what, here's another one!
Joanne already used this stamp set and DSP to make her beautiful card for the Paper Players color challenge but I couldn't resist using them too. Here's the Paper Players challenge:
I used Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, and Granny Apple Green, plus a bit of stamped-off Gray Granite for the mushroom stem. And after I made this card, I finally re-inked my Granny Apple Green ink pad. I've had to ink up Pretty Peacock and Misty Moonlight too.
Anyway, I used this week's sketch from Atlantic Hearts:
Fun sketch, I enjoyed playing with it.
Miss Daphne is looking at me expectantly so as soon as I finish my tea, I'll take her out for a walk. Then I'll probably make another cuppa when we get back because it's cold out there : ) Thank goodness I've stocked up on tea, right? Cheers!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Terrific Toadstools
Ink: Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite

I just love this Christy - maybe because I have one on my desk using the same toadstool paper (my favourite in the pack!) and the same sketch!! It does look different to yours, so I might still blog at the weekend as planned ;-) Anyways, I digress - I am also hooked on these mushrooms at the minute so this card is a winner with me. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
And I forgot to say - sweet potato tea?? I am not convinced lol!
Christy... I am so loving this mushroom DSP that I keep seeing. Great layout for the colors. Thanks so much (as always) for joining and sharing at The Paper Players!
Perfect papers for our color challenge as well as that awesome sketch! Thanks for playing with the Players this week as well as Atlantic Hearts! Love it!
Stunning card, Christy! Perfect color and design. Thank you so much for joining the sketch challenge at Atlantic Hearts. ~Dena, DT
