I went looking in my stash for something to make a Mother's Day card. I found a sheet of teapot stickers that are ++ years old. I always enjoyed doing tea parties with my granddaughters--before they moved on to the electronic age.
I am playing along with The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. Once I got started, I realized I was ending up with a "cover all"
The card base is SU Basic Beige. The basket weave is also SU. To add a little texture and satisfy the embossing square I used a linen texture E/F. It is not very noticeable but gives a little texture to the basket weave. Then added a die cut a deckle edge circle from a yellow vellum. The teapot sticker went on top of that. The ribbon is SU Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped on the backside of a scrap of the basket weave paper. For the sparkle elements, I winked the flowers and added some gold gel pen highlights in the flowers. To finish off I added more sparkle with some flat gems. I count a total of 5 layers.
Here is The Paper Players grid

Pretty sticker, pretty card. I think you added something for all nine squares in the grid! If you were actually playing tic tac toe, you'd definitely win this round.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Erin! The basket weave looks realistic and adds the illusion of texture. The teapot sticker makes a gorgeous focal point. I LOVE it! Thank you for playing in my Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at The Paper Players this week!
