My card for Polly's (peeps321) Teaparty Challenge, Teaparty Essentials. I forgot the napkins and the sweets! I do think the little mouse is rather sweet, tho!
A friend gave me several packs of paper doilies she had collected over the years, as she has been sorting and purging. We need to have more teaparties so I can use more doilies!

Beautiful card Liz and so perfect for a tea party! This image is so darling with a little mouse peeking out of the teacup. The delicate doily is beautiful and so are all the flowers you added too. Your pink gingham background pulls the entire card together so nicely! ~Karen.

This is so sweet, Liz. Love the gingham paper and the strips of floral paper. The fabric brads are perfect for your tea party card. Oh, yes, I did not forget to mention that is the sweetest mouse ever on your beautiful big doily!

Well we wouldn't eat the mousie and he probably doesn't drink much tea but he would be fun to hang out with. Such a sweet card, pink gingham being the perfect choice.

That mouse gave me the chills...it actually looks too real to me! Liz there is so much detail in your card and the brightness of it makes me smile.
I am quite excited for a call from Melanie to tell me she got her first card!

So sweet! The fabric brads are a great addition to this, along with your real doily. I only had small felt ones, which I like but they were too small for my image. Lovely design with the two strips and a brad at each end, and the teacup perfectly set in the centre of the doily.
