AMUSE ADDICTS CHALLENGE #30

This weeks challenge was to make a card that reflected something about yourself....so mine is a card about tea, as an innkeeper, I am always thinking about tea and breakfast, pluse, I am just no good without my morning cuppa....I also combined this with a blog challenge to handwrite your saying.....and it's not my best handwriting, but it will do!

thanks for looking!

ANOTHER CARD..IT'S ELZYBELL!

I loved this stamp and had to have it...isn't she so cute!!



I just so love making window cards.....this time I used glitter around the scallops..I colored her in with Faber-Castell watercolor pencils, I used black Spica pen for her shoes, and gold Spica for the frogs crown...I stamped her dress on a Pretty Little Paper (green reverse polka dot cottage collection) then cut it out...not an original idea, I saw someone else do this with Elzybell, and I can't remember just who now.....but it is such a cute idea! I stamped the grass on wome white textured CS and colored it in, cut it out and used some foam dots to elevate it and give it some depth....an a muse sheer ribbon completes the look I think! I think the scan is a little washed out....I wasn't paing attention I guess when I scanned it....and too late now, it's in the mail!

BONUS CHALLENGE!
