Tea Cup Full of Flowers

 Double D has a new challenge theme going and it is
COFFEE OR TEA
with a mood board for inspiration!


I don't have actual coffee OR tea but I do have a TEA CUP full of
beautiful flowers.  It is a Sizzix die called Tea Time.
I die cut all pieces from scraps of white card stock then colored them in
with either inks or Copics.  The tea cup and the embossed back piece is
Core'dinations paper that I sanded and embossed with a Simon Layered Vine
EB folder.  Once I use a folder I write 'front' on the front so I know which side is
up at a glance as it does make a difference when using the core'dinations papers.
I used a Cheery Lynn Designs doily die, the first doily die I ever purchased.  A pretty card for Spring!!


Feel like coffee OR Tea?  Then get creative and come on over to
Double D and have a little 'cuppa' with us!!

Entering the following challenges:
Crafty Calendar .... Dies and/or Punches
First Cup #13 .... Coffee/Tea Related

Diane, this teacup and doily design is just as sweet as can be! I love all the texture and those beautiful flowers. Such a beautiful, feminine card.

This cuppa makes a great vase for this gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Lots of pretty colors, texture and dimension. Amazing background EF. Love that doily too!

I love a pretty tea cup floral design! I've made many of them in the past ... especially for Mother's Day! Beautifully done my friend!

That was my first doily die, too, and still a favorite! Actually, it might be my only doily die. It's such a fitting and pretty back up for your teacup full of flowers. Love all those sweet colors! Oh, and the embossing, sigh... you know I'm a fan. Good idea to label the front!

Well this is just lovely. Die cutting the shapes in white and coloring them is genius, I think it looks so much better than just using colored paper. I will remember this. I love the doily backing too, it's so sweet.

Your teacup bursting with lovely flowers is even more special on the doily. But I love that background in all your colors as well. Great job!
