I've been having so much fun inking up these new sets from My Favorite Things and I wanted to make a card with Always Time For Tea, which debuted in the MFT teasers yesterday.
This darling set also has a coordinating Die-namics set, so making this card was a snap! Well, except for the circle stitches, but I'll talk about that in a sec. I cut out the main teapot in Love Me paper from My Mind's Eye and then I cut out the little accent pieces in Sahara Sand cardstock. The flowers are stamped with Rose Red ink and then I added lots and lots of zigzag stitching. Yum! I was so happy to see that Jody Morrow made a tutorial on how to stitch around circles and ovals! You can check it out HERE - http://confessionsofaribbonaddict.bl...th-all-my.html. She said to take it one stitch at a time, and people, I sewed that by cranking the little turn knob thingy on the side of the sewing machine, one stitch at a time. I don't trust myself to use the foot pedal with this sort of thing, LOL! Love the way it looks, so it was worth the extra time to stitch it.

I'm a big fan of teapots and mugs on cards. Really like the look of this set but what I really love about your card is the stitching! Maybe today is the day I give it a try; it adds so much. Thanks for the inspiration! Lovely card.
