Love Birds Happy Anniversary

Hi, everyone!  Today I'm sharing an anniversary card featuring two love birds in a tea cup.  I was inspired by Holley (Holley's Blog), who is celebrating 12 years seizure-free, and I can't think of a better reason to celebrate than the gift of good health!  As part of the celebration, Holley's Blog is having a challenge.  The requirement is to use a coffee- (or tea-) themed image from Sandra Caldwell (babycakesdnd on Etsy).  The only image I have that fits the bill is 292 My Cup of Tea, which I believe is retired as I no longer see it in her shop.  It's very cute so I hope she brings it back!


I coloured the image with markers and added accents with a white paint pen.  The image is die-cut with a pierced oval and is adhered with foam tape.  The patterned paper is Forever in Time Plumage.  I adhered a die-cut bow (Poppystamps Lovely Gift Bow) and stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts.  Lastly I adhered a number of flat-back gems as embellishments.

My card design was inspired by the following sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2:
