The theme was red... well I just couldn't find a true red paper I liked so I took this pretty pinkish background paper and went over it with glitter gel to make it more red. Then to do my tea pot and my cups I cut those bad boys out on my silhouette and used both a pink and a red distress ink to give them a tie died effect to match the paper. I didnt want to go digging though my stamps for my tea set stamps but remembered I had just gotten my inky antics teacup mouse! YES!!! Pulled it out and knew it would work perfect. I used my distress ink in red that i had used for my tie died effect and stamped the sentiments. I am actually very proud of this card it looks great to me. Think last step will be to glossy accent my pots and cups. Why?? Well WHY NOT? Hope you like it! I am not gonna show you the back though because that it for my tickle lol.

Oh gosh - you made a pop-up box card. Lucky teapotter! I remember the first time I received one of these - in fact, it's still on my ledge. What a fabulous decorative red tea-set, Rachael.
