Ready for Tea?

New challenge over at A La Card Monkey.  This week it's a sketch plus theme of tea.

I actually had a whole different idea in mind when I saw this challenge.  But as I sat down to figure out how I was going to make the card, this evolved.

I did a little paper piecing with the mugs.  I had to hand write "tea" on one of the tags.  I must apologize for my poor penmanship.  It's never a strong suit of mine.  I type much better! ;)

My Supplies List (all supplies and images by Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):

Stamp Set(s): Take a Sip wheel, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Tiny Tags

Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Rose Red

Papers: Baja Breeze, Rose Red, Springtime Vintage DSP

Accessories: Antique Brad, Circle punch, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Jewelry Tag punch, Rose Red 1" Double-Stitched Grosgrain ribbon (Clearance Rack), Basic Pearl

Tea Time

Today's card was CASE'd from Laurie.  I finally got the Square Lattice embossing folder, and I wanted to give it a try.  I have also never used this wheel that I got in my Starter Kit, so it was a great card for me to CASE!  No, no, no, I'm not done with that Glimmer Paper yet.  Just love the sparkles!

I used my Stampin' Write marker on the one teacup, so I won't stamp its neighbors.  For the strip itself, I just inked the wheel using my inkpad.  If you don't need to stamp much longer than regular card size, you can save your money on the ink cartridges and just use the inkpad.  A little money saving tip for you at no extra cost today!

BTW, I did something different with my photo today.  Can you tell?  I followed Ilina's tutorial.
