Have you ever spent FAR longer than you intended on a card then are not quite sure whether the finished product is quite right? Well that's what happened to me with this card! I chose this piece for my inspiration: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php...ng_id=33140283
I went with the blue/green colour scheme of the lamp, as well as the table-top idea. I received this stamp set in the post today (Lovely Shelf from Gina K) which I won in a Stamp TV challenge - of course I had to get it inky straight away! I pulled out my Wisteria papers from Basic Grey and used them for the layers as well as for the vase, tablecloth and the tea cup. The flowers were stamped twice and cut out and popped up (coloured with copics). I finally braved my sewing machine to add stitching to the edges (still not very good at it though!!!) and added ribbon, button and pearls.
TFL!
