You're Tea-rific

Happy Tuesday everyone.... I can't believe how cold it is outside today, it is about -10 degrees celcius here - that is very cold for this neck of the woods - Vancouver Island - British Columbia.... brrrrrrr.... I think I'll just stay inside and play in my craft room :)


I made this card for the Totally Stampalicious Monday challenge - "A Hot Cuppa" - to make a card/project with a hot cuppa on it - (mine is "Tea").

Plus some challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers and also for Mojo Monday's sketch challenge #166. The challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers are Mothermarks Teapot Tuesday challenge - The bridge is leaning' and the town folk are steamin" - we are off to London, Ohio to help out at the Local Tea House - they are having a week long tea party and could use all of us (42,000) tea party ladies help. I will be sending this card off to Brenda - one of the owners of the Tea House who is having serious medical issues and could use a little cheering up - plus it is her Birthday on Dec. 11th...

This is also for SCS colour challenge #CC298 - chocolate chip, cherry cobble, crumb cake and neutrals of choice. Plus yesterday's technique challenge #TLC300 - to use at least two of the previous technique challenges - TLC168 - clear embossing the image and then water colour image, TLC266 - inside and out - finish the inside as well as the outside of the card, TLC39 - paper piecing.

The image I used (woman) is from "Totally Stampalicious" - "Old Brawd" set, and the stacked teacups and sentiment are from "Stampin Up" - "Morning Cup" set. I stamped the images using Versafine Onyx black ink and then clear embossed. Images were water coloured with Tombow Markers. I paper pieced the woman's hat, skirt, top and shoes.

Below is the inside of my card.

I stamped the image with Stazon jet black ink onto water colour paper. Water coloured image with Stampin Up reinkers. I stamped on the tiny flowers (Stampin Up - Fresh Fillers) with Sage Shadow ink and then dotted it with a White Gel Pen. I drew in the lines on the hat - for a straw hat look. Framed image with Sage shadow and Chocolate Chip. Pierced three corners using SU Mat pack template. Base card is 5 X 6 1/2". The designer paper is from Stampin Up. Matted dp with Chocolate Chip and the base panel with Sage shadow. Sewed all edges. Stamped sentiment with Chocolate chip, cut out oval and scalloped oval with Nestabilities. Attached the three plum brads and the flowers and leaves. These were button embellishments, I cut off the button loops. I also applied Diamond Stickles to the flower centers and candle wick to give it some sparkle.

This card will also work for the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge #C4C28- paper piercing.
