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 this is so cute, love your little tea drinking Eskimos. High Teas are very popular in Melbourne, so that is one more reason you should come visit me!!
