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.

. . . and you deserved the certificate for surviving those temps below -40 for 6 weeks! I lived in Thunder Bay, ON 15 years ago and we used to have similar temps, although not for that long!
Your card is gorgeous! And all that masking - wow! I'm always appreciate it when those kinds of details are listed so I can appreciate all the work that went into something! The result is beautiful!

Awesome! This is such a beautiful card and I can't believe all the masking you did, but it sure paid off. The kettle has a wonderful patina to it. Kay is going to love this. tfs

This is just darling. It has a vintage sort of feel to it like when you go to Grandma's and she pulls out her pretty china and lace linen's. What a great image and beautifully crafted card. That tea tag is awesome.
