My card this month went to Linda in Minnesota and I received a lovely card from Jo!
I chose the technique option of 'Spotlight Stamping' and tried to incorporate the colours - which was a bit of a struggle!
I love a cuppa - but only if it's in a china cup!
It's a long time sice I did anything even a tiny bit shabby so this was a nice change from ink stained fingers.
Stamped the image with Versafine Morning Mist hoping this would pass for Silver.....😉
Stamped again and cut out part of it and coloured in shades of pink (Cotton Candy) and a pale blue (Baby Blue) and a little splash of yellow, and popped it up with some dimensional foam pads.
To finish the spotlighted centre image I added a liberal helping of Glossy Acccents onto the dangly 'teabag' suspended from the middle cup
The lace is from my stash.
Still time to sign up for the November chain - it's great fun!
You've done a great using this stamp for the spotlight technique, we don't see much shabby chic around these days. As refreshing as a cup of tea, although coffee would be my drink of choice 😉
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing nicer than a cup of tea out of a china cup...love your card it has a vintage look about it...

ReplyDeleteWow your card is stunning!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteIt’s absolutely gorgeous Viv. Xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Viv
ReplyDeleteA really pretty card.
Love your soft colours, and that gorgeous lace is a lovely touch.
It reminds me of a cafe that Mum and I "occasionally" get to .. .. they always use old china cups, saucers and plates .. .. and they never match. They have little crochet bead edged doilies over the sugar bowl too! It always makes you feel like you have stepped back in time when you visit.
Hope you are having a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
This is lovely, Viv! I love how you've used the themes to create your beautiful card. Thanks for being a link in our chain again, Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab image - and it's perfect for the spotlight technique. Great use of the colors and I loved to see some lace, it suits the whole tea served in china theme. I think I drink tea like most Norwegians? Which would be from a big, chunky mug. But I have a table booked for Afternoon tea at a fancy hotel in Oslo in not so long . and then I will drink it from china cup:)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like this stamp and it's colored so pretty, Viv! Sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love the tea cups. Fantastic card.
