More Tea Anyone ?.... Tea Shoppe and Apothecary Art

Good Morning...or is it? It is very damp and grey at the foot of "Moel Siabod" this morning..however there is some consolation. Izzy and Olly are sat watching Beauty and the Beast and I get to update my blog.
I promised you some more Inspiration with the "Tea Shoppe" stamp set....so here it is.
There are lots of Tea caddies on the internet at the moment...this is my interpretation made with one a4 sheet of cardstock.
I used the beautiful "Twitterpated" DSP and added some lovely pleated ribbon. To finish the caddy I made a rosette with the "simply score" board and added an antique brad....and because I had all the stuff out on my desk...I decided to make another one!
 I have also been busy creating cards using this set....I had wanted to create some masculine cards..need to work on that...I think.
I love this colour combo - Soft suede, pool party and more mustard
Another fave combo - soft suede, Island indigo and pool party. I also embossed the little cups with some delicious vanilla scented embossing powder
and finally soft suede, so saffron and pretty in pink...its difficult to pick up on the photo but I added some dazzling diamonds detail with the glue pen.

 Next up is another stamp set available from the summer mini catalogue
Apothecary Art. This has some gorgeous vintage style images and it co ordinates with the new framelits dies also available in the summer mini.
I stamped the same image several times and coloured them in with my blender pen and various ink pads.
I cased the first design from the cover of the summer mini catalogue....the inspiration for the colours came from my trusty "colour coach".


After I stamped and coloured the images I added some crystal effects ( sorry I seem to add it to everything!!) 

The final thing I wanted to share with you all is a pretty baby Dress card.....I have wanted to make one of these for ages....there are lots of designs on the internet...but what better place to look for inspiration than my lovely Upline Michelle Last.
this is the beautiful card she posted on her blog yesterday Baby Dress .
I knew I had to case it!! So here it is

 Michelle had added a cute pink pin to her design...sadly I didnt have any in my stash...so I added some pretty in pink brads and a cropped scallop circle to look like press studs on the frilly vest. Inside I added a scallop envelope (made using the die) and popped in a little message.

 I am very pleased with the result.....thank you Michelle for your wonderful inspiration x


 Have a lovely day and please pop back soon x
