Waltzingmouse Tea Time Blog Waltz

It's high time for tea time at Waltzingmouse Stamps!  This month's theme is a tea party.  I made a card with several stamps that had yet to see ink ((gasp))!

(PS:  If you click on the picture, it appears slightly clearer in the pop up window)

This cute little set of circular hearts from L'il Buddies was calling to me, and actually that's where I started!  Then I saw the teeny heart that also comes in that set, and decided to add it to the tea cups from Afternoon Tea.  The sentiment is from Afternoon Tea Sentiments.  The little hearts near the sentiment are ancient little brads.  I forget to use brads these days!

I stamped the hearts on a nestie circle, and then cut out a smaller nestie circle on the inside to make a frame.  Stamped the cups so that they were overlapping, and then paper pieced them back together with some added dimension.  It's very difficult to see but the cups have polka dots from Off Beat Backgrounds, just like the background I made on the kraft paper!

Enjoy your cuppa Waltzingmouse Stamps today...always good for the soul, I think ;)!
