Delight in a 'Cup of Tea'

Sponsoring this weeks challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations 
is STAMPlorations and a bunch of their Designers
have been supporting this challenge as Guests.
I was one of those and now I decided to
add another card to the gallery.
 
 
I recently purchased the Poppy Die called Teacup Stack
and thought this a perfect opportunity to try it out.
I cut it in the red white and black carefully
trying to keep as many pieces together so I could
pick what I wanted where. I then cut another piece out
of jac paper to stick my main piece to the card stock.
 
 
I took my inspiration this time from
those tiny hearts on top of that yummy looking icing.
Just looking at them made me hunger for something sweet.
***
My card base is black topped with red then
and stencilled through it with red acrylic paint
add some random grunge from
then added my sentiment from
I thought the sentiment went nicely
with a cup of tea. I do enjoy mine
first thing in the morning (and out of a teapot)
Finished with corner rounding on side.

Again I went with the hearts and tiny dots
which I added to the top cup.
 
Thanks so much for popping in today.
