Today I pulled out a couple of oldies but goodies...
Ever since I saw this Find yourself a cup stamp, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. But then I got side tracked and never got to ink it up. But today I sat down with purposeful intention and made this card that is perfect for old friends who might just happen to enjoy tea.
I used Distress Oxides to make a gradient of soft colors with which to die cut my teacup stack (by Poppystamps). After carefully stamping my sentiment on the top right corner of my 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" white layer, I masked and sponged a line to make it look like my stack of cups were on a table. I also added a bit of steam from the flourish die from the Calligraphic Elements 3 die set.
The best news about this oldie but goodie is that it is now a mounted stamp! Yay!
Now I'm thinking this might be a cute little sign on a tiny easel next to some pretty tea cups. Hmm...
