TEA FOR TWO

I am doing the happy dance. I received some new stamps this week and they are so cute. This is one of them. It is called "Tea for Two" and it is from the Hearts and Hugs collection by Victoria Case for SCACD . Susana's Custom Art and Card Design is only 1 of 4 dealers to carry the new Elisabeth Bell stamps. I am entering this card in the Papertake Weekly Challenge , Whimsy Stamps Challenge, Everybody Art Challenge , and The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.


I stitched a leaf pattern on the side edges to add a different look. The image is stamped and heat embossed. It is colored with Copics. I added shimmerez to the flower and her dress. The leaves, the body of the butterfly, the tea cups and saucer, and her shoes are glossed with Crystal Effects. Of course, stickles is added to the flowers, butterfly wings, and flowers on her hat. I used a Spica glittler pen on her bracelet. I added glass gemstones and CTMH ribbon.

The image is cute without doing any layering, but I did cut out and pop up the flower and butterfly once to give it more dimension.

On the inside of the card I cut out part of the flower an butterfly and popped it up. The flower has shimmerez on it for a little shine and I added flower soft on the inside of the flower for the butterfly to sit on. The butterfly body is also glossed and I added wire for the antennas. The picture really doesn't capture how cut it is.

This is the inside of the card. The DP has lots of sparkle to it.

Thank you for taking the time to view my card. Please comment and let me know what you think.

NOTE: I will be having blog candy to give away to celebrate Labor Day so be sure and check back.
