Make it Monday: Steep, Stir, Enjoy


I have a card for this week's Make it Monday #47:  2011 a La Carte.  This time, I am trying MIM #14:  Selective Inking.  I took a sentiment from Tea for Two, and broke up the different words to space them along with the teacups.  The filligree border is stamped using Amuse Slate at the top of the card, and using Versamark at the bottom.


Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Tea for Two, Tea for Two Additions, Love & Marriage
Paper:  Vintage Cream, Scarlet Jewel
Other:  Tea for Two dies, SU pearls


Thanks for Visiting

    So beautiful and creative! I love how it looks like your tea cups are hanging from an elegant cupboard! Your color choices are perfect and I love how you selectively inked to make the sentiments under each cup!

    I may have to lift this one! Love the teacups and the addition of the filigree border stamp gives that wonderful vintage feel. Great job! Looks like a lot of people agree with me! Happy new year. :-)

    Joyce...this has to be the cutest card I have ever seen! Going to tea is at the top of my list for favorite things to do and this card is right up there with that. The colors, style, everything about it is just incredible.

    What I always love about your cards Joyce is that they are always so different from each other. I tend to use the same kind of design or style on all of my cards so they all look very similar. Yours are so unique. I love how you used the Love and Marriage set to hang teacups! The little pearls are elegant and those colors you chose were so pretty. This is very creative.
