Put the Kettle On

Happy Saturday! I hope your day is great so far.

Here is today's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge:

And here is my card:

Love these cute peachy tea cups.

If you're like me and can't have white baker's twine with cream cardstock, I recommend trying the Tim Holtz Distress Stain. The liquid formula makes it easy to age those accents - a little easier I find that running the twine through your inkpad (although that's a good solution in a pinch, too!) This is Antique Linen, of course!

We hope you'll play along with us this week - head to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge Blog to link up your creation. In addition to the Top Mice awards, a free stamp set is awarded each week to a random player!

Have a great day!

Anya

  5. Such a great idea to make your own tea cup paper! I forget to do that with bigger images and the effect is so fabulous. Love the soft colors you chose, and you are SO right about the white in the twine! I always use cream paper, it seems, and end up passing up my twine for a time I use a white card base...so thanks for the tip!!
