I didn't have to go far to pick my inspiration...I chose THIS set. Tea sets usually make me think of lavenders & purples so it really appealed to me.
The tea set was stamped & colored very sparingly with Copics, then die cut & I used a pale lavender Copic around the edge. I used a scallop die twice to cut the lower edge of the larger white panel & also edge the top scallop w/ the same marker.
On the top of this panel, I lined up the alphabet dies, die cut them, then trimmed the top down. I used the actual die cut letters, cut in half, for the top part & added a little aqua Copic to them. The tea border was stamped across the bottom of the die cut lavender panel & I added a die cut bow & tea rose on the side. The edge of the large lavender panel was also shaded a bit w/ the lavender marker.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff p.s. I also have a link on my blog for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop..& it's pretty wonderful.

You are so creative, Julie. The way you wrote "tea" looks amazing. The soft lavender is just lovely. You always use die cuts in creative ways. The scallop edges are perfect. Another masterpiece.

so elegant, just the way a tea party should be. It reminds me of when I have gone to 'high tea' at a very wonderful place in my area called Langdon Hall. It is a super elegant place with fancy sandwiches and the most wonderful atmosphere in an old mansion...not many of those in my area.
hugs,
