A Tea Party with DIES R US

Good Morning Blogging Friends!

I'm so excited to share with you today, my very 1st creation as a design team member

of the Dies R Us Blog.

The dies I have used on today's creation are available 

at the Dies R Us Store and In Stock now!

Cheery Lynn Designs 'Polynesian Sails Oval' #DL153

and

Elizabeth Craft Designs 'Teapot & Cups' #714

 The Polynesian Sails die set is actually 2 dies in one!  The large lacy oval and the small center circular doily type die.  They both cut out at the same time, which makes the large oval an 'open' center.  I simply laid it on my dark green card stock, traced around the oval with a pencil and cut out the oval shape to create a solid inside panel.  Then, used the center cut from this beautiful die set as my 'doily' under the teapot.  How sweet is that!

This beautiful teapot die set is also an 'outline' die set.  So, once die cut, I glued it down to my chosen design paper and did a little 'fussy cutting' to achieve my paper pieced look.  To add a little more depth and texture, I used my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers to color in the leafy pattern on the teapot/cups, the lid stem and the inside portion of the cup to give the illusion of the cups filled with a delicious cinnamon tea.
