Here is my card - really late, for the Twisted Sistah challenge given this week by Kathy aka 101airborne to make a card with a tea cup or coffee cup, and to use lace and pearls with a die cut or punch.
I have been hoarding this Parisian Breeze paper forever, and decided it was time to celebrate with it! My tablecloth is the 'lace', though it is embossed crocheted lace, I paper pieced the cups and teapot, and did a lot of fussy cutting!! ****Take note, Buckleman - I am proud to say I also used my exacto knife !!! Added pearls strips in the corners and made "table legs" for my table. Next I punched out the sentiment for the wall with the scalloped oval punch - printed it on my computer to say what I wanted it to say. Hope you like how it turned out. This was a fun challenge. If you would like to join us this week, just put TSC0330 in your keywords, so everyone can see your creations!! Thanks for playing!

What a brilliant idea to use the doily for a tablecloth! This is straight out of my dear grandmother's dining room! She always kept the pineapple design tablecloth on her table!! It's gorgeous, and I thank you for the trip down memory lane! LOVE this one Sue!!

I believe the Queen could enjoy tea at this lovely table, you certainly rocked it on this challenge....and those pearls lined up so nicely are a fabulous touch. I just couldn't help but lift my pinkie as I typed imagining a cuppa tea with you. Hugs.
