I got all confused this week and thought I was going to a mask-erade party not a teaparty.
I stamped one group of tulips (Flourishes) then masked then stamped another group of tulips then masked, then stamped the teapot (Crafty Secrets) then masked, then stamped one lace tablecloth edge then masked, then stamped the other side then masked, then finally stamped the wallpaper and the maskerading was finished.
If the technique challenge this week had been to mask I would have taken home some kind of prize.
Everything was coloured with copics. The little rose is prima. The tea tag is a Crafty Secrets stamp. The 2 little pearl hearts are beads that I attached wire to. The ribbon is SU.
This also works for the Fan Club theme this month.

Wow, you certainly do get a prize for masking to create such a perfect scene. I love the detail with the little floral spray and tea tag, but I think my favourite bit of all is the lovely tablecloth. I like the way the teapot looks like copper - it makes me think of a local café when I was growing up, which was called The Copper Kettle. Come to think of it, we used to have a copper kettle very like that one ourselves.
