This is actually an homage to my Mom's iced tea (yeah, I should have die cut "iced" but it would have been too big!). She brewed it from Red Rose black tea and always added a shot of orange juice. So iced tea in our house was never totally clear. But oh so yummy. And that's how I make mine. The lemon sticker on my card was just for fun ;)
It's actually an homage to my relatives in Fayetteville, NC too. Cuz when they ask you if you want some tea - they mean iced tea and it sounds like "I stay" when they say it ;) Thus my poetic license for my sentiment.
I created my background using Mama Elephant's Trifecta, gray pigment ink and summery colors of Adirondack dye ink. Inked a white scrap to die cut my Papertrey Headline Alpha letters. Die cut "ice" with Memory Box Parker Alpha from a snippet. Added a couple Dymo label sentiments to complete my phrase. Stamped and Copic colored the drink using Simon Says Stamp Adult Beverages.
Have a great time hopping and be careful not to over caffeinate!

Oh, totally fun - love your card.
I knew as soon as I saw the sentiment that it was a "southern" card. lol And I will have to try that shot of orange juice in my tea ... sounds delicious! Awesome card!
Fabulous background!
I love this great color! We drink of lot of sweet tea down here!
Oh I love love love your card and the story behind it is wonderful Maria!! I always chuckle when I am in the U.S. and order a tea and they always ask hot or cold? In Canada hot is implied and if you want iced tea you must ask for it by name. So next time I want iced I may ask for I stay! Ha ha
Love your card!!!
