Lawn Fawn | Watercolored Whimsical Tea Party Scene

Get ready to be transported to a charming tea party scene featuring adorable animal attendees! I created this whimsical scene by watercoloring images from Lawn Fawn’s Tea-rrific Day stamp set, which includes a fox, hedgehog, and squirrel gathered around a tree stump for tea. The resulting card is a perfect way to send warm wishes for many occasions including birthdays, thank you, or “just because.” Read on for step-by-step instructions on how I created the watercolored tea party card.

I had so much fun bringing these adorable animal characters to life, dressed in fancy hats for the tea party gathering.

Tea parties invite us to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures in life. In our fast-paced world, taking the time to sit down and savor a cup of tea and a slice of cake can be a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
