Tea for Two

This is the second stamp in the My Favorite Things stamp set "Tea for Two". I don't normally do alot of animal type stamps, but I do love teacups! And I must say, the bunny and the mice in this set are really cute. Below is a card I posted earlier with the mouse stamp. I love this sentiment. I think it would work great with a Starbucks gift card. I cut out the main image and glued it on the oval so that the bunny sticks up over the oval. All the edges are sponged.

I stamped the bunny two additional times. I cut out the body of the bunny climbing into the cup and popped it up with SU dimensionals. Then I cut out the the bunny and popped it up too. Then I added some stickles to the tail.

Celebrate MFT Day

The 20th of each month is celebrate My Favorite Things Day at Splitcoast. This is my first chance to ink up my new Tea for Two stamps. I even used MFT colors, pink, black, and white; love the color combo! I pieced the bottom portion of the teacup and used a white gel pen to add the dots. I colored with copics. By the way there is a great tutorial over at the "How do they do that?" thread at the MFT forum, at Splitcoast by Candice on copic techniques. I learned a couple of new things that I used on this card.

From The Heart

It was nice having yesterday off and a nice rainy day to just stay home. I made the card for the MFT Who's That Girl challenge. You needed to use three flowers and three ribbons. The paper is Basic Grey Bittersweet which I just love. Pink and brown is always a favorite combo of mine. The stamp is the Mother's Day stamp from MFT from last year. I cut the words in the frame off, and then the stamp can be used for many different occassions. I pieced the pot and popped it up on SU dimensions. I inked the edges of the paper with Tim Holtz distressing ink. I added a little brown charm I had in my stash.

Thanks for Looking,
Melody
