TEATIME! The Outlawz' Creative Freebie Challenge

The teacup and saucer and the teapot are the free images provided for the current challenge, and here is my card:

The images are coloured using Copics, and a white gel pen for the highlights:


I used glittered DP for the background and an apricot coloured satin ribbon as a base for the crockery.  To add some interest, I sewed on some flower sequins and beads:


The tag was made from an offcut of the DP that I misted and inked the edges:


I think I might keep this card for my own stash, instead of donating it to charity - I LOVE the finished card, if I may say so myself!

 I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
FAB N FUNKY, #152, RIBBON AND/OR LACE
INKY IMPRESSIONS, #90, SPARKLE
PAPER PRETTIES, ppwc237, GLITTER
ELKE KAART EEN FEESTJE, #146, ALLES MAG!
TWISTED TUESDAY, 2TC37, TAGS AND SMILES (I have a tag – and a cup of hot tea certainly puts a smile on MY face!
HOUSE OF GILLI, #48, ADD SPARKLE
