Teacups, Roses and another Free Cut File!

Since I posted such a masculine project yesterday, I decided that this time I needed to have some lace and sparkle trimmings on my card today. I can only take a little bit of man at a time LOL!

It's time for The Paper Shelter Challenge and this week we'd like to see either Pink and White OR Blue and White on your creations.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:
In the Pink - Anything Goes as long as it's PINK
The Hobby House - Anything Goes
Sister Act - Anything Goes
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes

I did a little bit of mix and match to the main image on my card. First, I decided that I wanted to use one of the beautiful rose images in the Enchanted Nature set. Next came the idea for the teacup which I took from one of the adorable images in Tea Time. I used Photoshop to merge the images, but I also did a little bit of cutting to layer a few pieces.

The roses are already colored, so all I did was print and cut! I thought I'd use watercolor paper for a change, and was totally surprised that both my printer and Cameo took the paper beautifully - thank God! I also added a tiny bit of copic coloring/shading to the teacup. I wanted to keep it very soft.

The background paper is also from the roses which I created again in Photoshop. Pretty cool... This one came together pretty quickly since I already knew what I wanted to do. Sometimes it works and then other times... well, you know LOL!

This is what you could win from The Paper Shelter! Please join in the fun :)

Today's FREE cut file is the Sailboat from THIS POST.

I'm a Guest Designer!

Happy Friday! YaaaaaaHoooooo! We made it, didn't we? I have a special announcement today. I know someone who is having a BIRTHDAY! It's my friend, Vickie!

*la la la la*

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday, Dear Vickie...

Happy Birthday to you!

She's away on vacation, and I sure do miss her. Don't tell, but I haven't been working out everyday. Monday was movie day, Tuesday I went to the gym, Wednesday I played hooky, Thursday I went to the gym, TODAY I'm headed to the gym. There. I went more than I stayed - lol! When Vickie is home, we usually go every weekday and then head to Starbucks *yummy.* She loves chai tea - which leads into the theme of my card today!

The image I've used is from Prairie Fairy called Tea Time. It comes with a teapot and teacup. Sooooo adorable! I printed out the image three times and used all three teacups (I'll save the three teapots for another project). Ta Da!!! I have two firsts... This is my first Tent Card. I don't think I did it right - lol! My second first is that I am Guest Designer this week for Fairy Fun Fridays - yay!!! Thanks, Roberta : )

I used Dena's tutorial at Simon Says Stamp Here.

In case you missed it, here's the charm!

I 'stole' this idea from Lacey at Stamp and Create. After I cut the 'stem' from the flower, I wrapped it around the handle of a paint brush. Can you see the little curlie-q's? I really like the added texture it creates. Thanks, Lacey : )
