I'm out of my box again. This is for the "Handle" challenge. I had to think hard before I remembered the teacups a friend cut for me a long time ago. I dug deep to find the photo overlays, too! The teacup is popped up in the middle but the saucer and the back rim are glued flat to give it some dimension. The layers from bottom up: photo overlay, medallion, teacup, "steamy" stickers, frame, lacy corners. The tea bag tag is the CM fancy square punch. It dangles loose on the front, it's glued to the back of the teacup.

What a beautiful card! The doilies are the perfect embellishment. The sentiment is wonderful! That is some good advice.

Love this! Each little embellishment is perfect, and perfectly placed. Love the doily corners... that sentiment is so great too - it's so easy to show grace to others and forget to show it to ourselves. Thank you for playing along with my challenge and for supporting Hope You Can Cling To!
