After being AWOL from the teapot parties for the past few months, I have been lured back by Auld Lang Syne. I'm not really a party girl myself, so there will be no streamers on my card. I am however, well known in my circles for being a tea granny. So much so, that I get tea for birthday gifts, tea for Christmas gifts and tea for no reasons at all. I was even asked to plan a tea party shower for a gal in our church. As a matter of fact, I now have so much tea in my house, that I may have to build an addition to make a larder exclusively for teas. So, my dear friends, I will so gladly share a cup or two with all of you.
In this card, I used my brand new Spellbinders 'Resplendent Rectangles' die set. Originally I planned to just stamp the eskimo gals on the subtle dp and not colour them, but after stamping them, I just knew I needed more, so I stamped them again on white cs, coloured them and fussy cut them. I just knew I had a teapot stamp somewhere, but it took me forever to find it. It was stamped on ivory cs, coloured with copics and fussy cut the teapot and cup, after which I applies glossy accents. After day, I mounted them on dimensionals .

Ina, how lovely to see you at the party this week. Your pair of Eskimo girls are just delightful, worth the fussy cutting. I love their cosy looking boots - and your beautiful tea set.

Ina, this card is adorable with the two Inuit(?) friends....and the steaming tea to keep them warm. (I'd love to come to your tea party and help reduce your stash of delicious tea blends) Happy New Year.

Oh, this is adorable! I had a tea set when I was little that looked a lot like this one!

Oh I love tea too - no coffee for this gal! What a lovely card. The girls are so cute decked out in their winter finery and I'm sure they'll enjoy a cup of tea.
