  1. Stunning card, such beautiful rich colours!! I love these new stamps and after seeing them on your blog and then at HC I actually went ahead and ordered some all the way from the States. Can't wait to receive them even though with the postage and everything it has totally blown my budget:D

  2. This is just a fabulous card! Your shading of the teacups is perfect - looks just like aged china. And the side-step card is a great way to showcase a whole "set" of teacups.
