Happy Saturday!
Yesterday I went to a thrift shop and purchased a couple of tea cup sets. One of them was a beautiful Aynsley tea cup with a blue background, white flowers and gold trim. It is so pretty and was a steal at $5! What a great find and a lovely addition to my little collection (I heard the chuckles of my close friends as they read "little".) .
The tea cup set was the inspiration for the cards I made today. Actually, I had intentions of making only a CAS card but it got out of control and I made the "non-CAS card" shown above first. When completed I realized it was the worst CAS card in the history of CAS cards. So, I went ahead and completed what may be considered a CAS card.
Interesting the difference between the two cards. Two different cards inspired by one tea cup set. Paper art imitating bone china art. :)
Materials used:
- Momento Rich Cocoa
- Kraft paper
- TPC Studio "Card Crafting Hello" stamps
- Spellbinders 5X7 Detailed Scallops
- Spellbinders Nested Tea Cups
- JustRite Lace Medallion Labels stamp set
- JustRite Secret Garden background stamp
- Coutre Creations Trellis embossing folder
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Are you kidding me? $5.00? Lucky you! Guess who else has a weakness for teacups? I mostly collect English porcelain, with a fondness for fancy handles, but I also like old Japanese lustre ware (OOOh Shiny!) I was just debating getting a teacup die at the Cutting Garden yesterday, but I always have to mull over every purchase. No more impulse buying for me! You did a lovely CAS card, but I adore the first card, it's gorgeous like that cup, which, by the way,if you don't have room for...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vivid colours, thanks so much for sharing with us at Allsorts this week.
