The challenge is to fancy up the card we create. I chose this punch because I could easily place the pearls on it, added some ribbon then some glitter on the honey! I had all of two minutes leftÂ…now if you can get the ribbon to cooperate along with those tiny pearls it may not take so long! Fun challenge anyway, thanks Denise!
-I used Prismacolor pencils and baby oil for coloring the image.
-Art Glitter (similar to Diamond Glaze or Crystal Effects) was added for honey. First I applied the glaze then with a straight pen I poked it into the Creamy Caramel re inker and colored the art glitter before adding the glitter.
-Diamond Glaze was used for attaching the pearls.
-Ribbon is knotted first then taped to the back.
-The white is one piece of cardstock; I first punched the lacey scallops, put two lines on with the Scor-Pal for the ribbon area, and then ran the top piece through the Cuttlebug.

Your punchs, glimmer, pearls, and shimmery ribbon give this whole card some fabulous fanciness! I feel like I should be taking tea with the queen! Rockin' work!

Truly fancy enough for the fanciest girly-girl. I love those pearls! And I'm in awe that you colored the glitter before applying it.

This is fabulous. I have not seen that stamp before. It rocks this stampers world. I love tea. Your addition of the scallops at the bottom and the pearls is just fabulous. Love the colors you chose too. TFS

Fabulous! I've been looking for this punch, because it adds so much glamour! Such a pretty card. Love that teacup! I wish Stampin Up still had a beautiful tea set!

That's the Martha punch I keep meaning to get and I think you just pushed me over the edge. Nice job with an image that to me is difficult to color too, the teacup is so light an delicate. Very fancy, very pretty!
