Hello stampers! Thursday brings us a new Inspired By challenge....look at this sweet image and optional sketch!
I think I must be the only stamper in the world who doesn't own a teacup stamp or die...well, I own one little one, but it wasn't going to work with the bird that I wanted! I remembered getting a gift of these pretty papers from my friend Mary Rose, and lo and behold, there was a tea container....no teacups, but I thought I could make this work! So here we go:
I don't remember the name of this SU DSP, sorry, but I thought the colors and patterns replicated the designs on the teacup in the inspiration. I cut out the tea container and popped it up on a quilt pattern DSP, matted with Bashful Blue cardstock. My bird is from the retired Birds and Blooms die; it was cut from some watercolor paper and colored with inks and markers:
I made a couple little banners with another piece of the DSP and stamped a sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings.
I mounted it all on a Very Vanilla card base and left the inside blank for a little note!
I hope you'll play along with our challenge; the design team has a plethora of teacups to make up for the ones that I didn't have, so I hope you'll pop over to the Inspired By blog to see what they created! Thanks for visiting today!

ReplyDeleteI don't own a tea cup stamp or die either, LeAnne, or even a coffee cup. LOL, I need to get with the program! Love the papers and that sweet little bird!
ReplyDeleteThat tea tin worked perfectly and so did the little bird! This is charming LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! I love that little bird, too.
ReplyDeleteThat tea tin is just perfect - what a clever solution, and not a teacup in sight!
ReplyDeleteThe tea cannister is a brilliant substitute for the teacups!
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of papers, too.
The tea canister and bird are so beautiful, this is such a pretty, soft card!
