My Cuppa Tea

A few things influenced this card: (1) the beautiful rose image in the SNS June Rose Clear Stamp Set, (2) the My Time Made Easy Tea Cup cut file (used with my Cricut), (3) the SCS Sketch challenge, and (4) the Shabby Tea Room Design Team search inspiration piece. All of the influences combined with my love of all things tea related produced this card.
I wanted to created a monochromatic china pattern for my tea cup and I liked the pattern so much, I decided to create background paper that matched. I really liked Sweet n Sassy's Birthday Month digis, but I am lovin' them as clear stamps. I'm definitely going to collect all twelve!
The paper flower was created with some cardstock and a flower punch. You can find the instructions I used here. After it dried, I spritzed it with Smooch Spritz in vanilla. I added a heart-shaped paper doily behind the tea cup.
I just love how pretty it all is. I think I'll try another one with a different color. I love black and pink, but for some reason I feel like I use it too much. However, when I look back at my older posts or projects, I don't see too much of it! Anywhoo, you should do what you like when crafting. That's what it's all about!
Happy Crafting!

Sweet Rose

I have never had much luck growing roses. I love them and love gardens that are full of them, but I have to stick with cactus and succulents because they require so little care. But determined to give it one more try and sucked in by spring plant selections at the nurseries, my husband I bought a rose to plant near our kitchen window. In a few weeks it will be no where near as beautiful as the one in this Sweet n Sassy June Rose Clear stamp collection, but at least we will have the memories!
Don't forget on June 1st, Sweet n Sassy will be bringing back clear stamps! We will be celebrating and showcasing these great stamp sets in a blog hop so be sure to stop back by and visit all the design team blogs! It's getting closer!
