Time for a Cup of Tea - card #2 A Slimline

 This slim line card was partially cased from the card depicted on Pg. 12 of the new Annual catalogue.

To create the slimline card, an 8 1/2 by 7" piece of Old Olive card stock was scored at 3 1/2" on the 7" side.  This created an 8 1/2 by 3 1/2" card, a perfect size for the  the slim line envelopes shown on Pg. 137.

The card front is layered with a 3 1/4 by 8 1/4" piece of Basic White card stock upon which the rest of the card will be created.

First I created the background. Using pool party ink, and a blender brush, colour was applied to the center of the Basic White card stock piece.  The large leaf stamp was stamped randomly on this brushed background.  I stamped off before stamping  to create a softer look.  The die cut cups were built on this background.

The 4 cups were  die cut the using the outline tea cup die and the Tea Boutique DSP.  In addition, two cups were die cut using the die cup with the inlaid leaf pattern and Old Olive card stock.  These were added over the middle two die cut cups.

Two end cups

                                                            Other two cups

The tea bag and two flowers were stamped with Fresh Freesia ink and die cut.  One flower was also stamped using Crushed curry ink.  The sentiment was stamped with Old Olive ink on a strip of Basic White card stock.  The die cut tea bag and flowers were added as shown.

In colour matt decorative dots added to the front finished the card.
