Finally came up with something today....much fussy cutting (for me). Believe it or not, I have no butterfly dies so I had cut my stamped butterflies. I used ground espresso, tattered rose and fossilized amber (together, they make a nice peach) , and tumbled glass to blend two pieces of white cs, one for the background, one for the postage frame and the elements. My little teacup is a bit too subtle, the ep is supposed to fade from blue to gold but it's mostly gold. But it's pretty.

I do see the fade and it adds an interesting depth to your background elements. Nice fussy cutting...I always think...playing paper dolls...love the scene you set with that pretty teacup.

I have the TH butterflies and dies, and I often prefer just to fussy-cut them when I've stamped them, the dies get used as stand-alone elements. I think your use of the CC colours is absolutely fantastic, especially with the reversed gradient in the frame. That's a lovely real cup, too; the texture in the saucer is unusual.
