Teacup stack

Hello lovely people,

I got totally carried away playing with my new Inktense pencils yesterday and nearly forgot to get this blog post ready...nearly!
I'm still learning how to use the pencils but hopefully will have something to show you soon :-)

While I get in some more practice with the pencils, it's Creative Inspirations challenge time and this fortnight we have the theme...

PRETTY PROJECTS

I hope you will agree that this combination of vintage style DP with my new teacup and lacy border dies is pretty!

Handmade card with stack of teacups (Stampin' Up dies)

I never normally flip dies over as they don't look as good with the 'wrong' side up, but this one actually looked fine and I liked the stack of cups with the handles pointing in different directions.

    Kat that's utterly gorgeous! I love the pretty papers you've used for the teacups and the whole card actually, so perfect together. I have a pal who's about to have a 'high tea' party for her birthday and she'd love this something fierce! I might have to have a go at emulating your gorgeous make. Would you mind if I cased it? I don't have those fabby teacups, but something similar. Utterly love it hun! Hugs, Wends x

    Hi Kat... Well, this IS such a pretty card... it's perfect for the Pretty Projects theme!! I do have a bit of a weakness for fine china... so I love the cup die you've used, and the pretty papers look so good! Also that little tag from the teabag in the top cup... is a perfect finishing touch!

    Also I'm eyeing up that Go Create die........ do I NEED it?? LOL!

    Big hugs

    GORGEOUS, like you I can't bring myself to use dies the 'wrong' way round but it looks great. I also like the look of that lace border at the top and bottom. Gorgeous papers.
