Tea Time

Perfect card for a tea lover or friend you haven’t seen in a while. The floral teapot stands out against the black & white lattice background. Just a few days, a bit of pretty paper & whatever other two colors you pick & you have yourself a card.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge & we are visiting MacKenzie-Childs & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. I liked the pink flowers against the black & white check. Since I didn’t have anything w/ black & white checks, I used a lattice die with some black & white inserts to give the impression of the pattern. The tea cup & teapot were die cut out of floral paper & also a pink paint chip. I wanted a couple of shades of pink & paint chips are great for this. I pieced the parts of the tea cup & teapot together, then popped them up to add some dimension.

They were attached to a fancy die cut oval & the greeting was cut out using one of the suitcase parts that happened to be the exact size I needed. Lastly, a little pearlized jewel was added to the teapot lid.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The two challenges today on Splitcoast, the CAS281 (a color challenge) and the TLC490 (stamp, punch) seemed doable as a combination, so that was the direction I went. My card isn’t quite as clean & simple as I originally intended, but it’s close enough for me, since most everything is punched or die cut.

The fun greeting was stamped on a large die cut tag and again a few times on scrap pieces. I used a multi tag punch to punch out parts of the greeting, then added a some color w/ my Copics and popped them up on top of the original greeting. The teapot & cup were die cut and I added a scrap behind the roses parts that I also added color. The peach doily was die cut as well as the white & coral layers.

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Serendipity Tea Time Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Serendipity Tea Time Blog Hop!

We know you’ll love these beautiful new Tea Time dies! The rose cut outs are just gorgeous and the shape and lines are fabulous.

The hop will run through midnight EDT, March 30, 2014. Just visit all of the Design Team blogs and one random winner will receive a $20 gift code off their next order!

For my card, I die cut the teapot & teacup in white, then lightly embossed them only on lt yellow card stock. I used yellow & yellow/orange Copic markers to add some additional color to the embossed yellow roses, then trimmed to fit under the white die cut versions. I came across a previously die cut white oval frame & used the same Copics to add color to match. I did the same with the larger, yellow/orange mat. The printed paper was added underneath for contrast. On the larger piece of designer paper, I stamped the tea border with the distress ink and added some of the yellow/orange color to it as well. The layout is a bit non-standard but I had some pieces of designer paper left from another project and didn’t want them to go to waste. One word of the tea border was stamped on white and I used a multi tag punch to punch out the one little “tea bag” tag to add to the cup. I added a printed navy Candi dot in the upper left for balance.
