Congratulations to Pat (aka johnsopa) as Featured Stamper FS826. I found previously admired favorites in her Gallery but also some I had overlooked - so I am very glad to have this opportunity to really study the creations there!
I kept the gray/turquoise color combination, but switched to landscape orientation and omitted the snowflakes. Used a solid rather than vellum back panel for my focal point and stamped the frame rather than using die cuts.
I liked the formal vs casual components so played on that heavily with my teacup & saucer - plus the floral and ribbon elements LOL! I sliced the lower rim of the cup to insert the stems.
Wow! You knocked my socks off with this CASE! Love how you stamped the turquoise dotted circles on grey!! I wouldn't have thought of this, but makes me want to try it again with this idea! The focal point teacup with flowers and inside sentiment makes this card super special! You always coordinate your envelopes too! Love it!

I adore those circle stamps and seeing them in the turquoise against the gray -- I WANT THEM!!! Oh well, I will settle for admiring them in your beautiful cards. Love the delicate blooms placed in the tea cup and you topped it all off with that wonderful and, oh so, appropriate and fun sentiment inside. Fabulous card.

Love your Tahitian Tide stamping on the Grey cardstock! Really pops!
