This Week's Stamping 411 Challenge

This past weekend I played along with the Stamping 411 Challenge. But I forgot to post it before the deadline! For this card I broke out my new Tea Shoppe stamp set. I started by stamping the little violets in Wisteria Wonder onto Whisper White for the background of my card. Next I layered a piece of Flirtatious Designer Paper that I cut out using my Adorning Accents Edgelit Die, and a Paper Doily in Early Espresso - isn't this the cutest? Next I inked up the large tea cup from with Wisteria Wonder and stamped it onto a scrap of Whisper White and carefully cut it out. I used my Stampin' Write Marker in Wisteria Wonder to color around the edges of the handle, giving it more of a finished look. I layered the teacup onto the Doily using glhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifue dots and gave it a slight bend to add dimension. Finally I embellished the whole card with more stamps, punches, coordinating Baker's Twine, and Basic Pearls. The stamps, twine and dies used on this card can all be found in the Occasions Mini. If you order them all before the end of this month you will have a qualifying order to receive a FREE item from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog! You can place your order through my Online Store and your items should arrive at your door within about a week!

Since today is a snow day in my neck of the woods - stop by later to see what I plan to work on today! Unexpected days off seem to bring out the most creative projects!! (of course you know I had it all planned out yesterday morning...)
