Tea Party....

Hi fellow blogging friends,
Today card is my Guest DT card for the new challenge starting today over at Whoopsi  daisy. The theme for this week is 'more than 2 designer papers'.

I chose an image of sheet number 205. Which is available to buy here.
I printed off the image and coloured it in with promarkers.
I chose to do an easel card and matted and layered and stitched around the edge of some designer papers from Dovecraft Tea party 8"x8". I also die cut some out to stick on the base of the card, and attached some Dovecraft cupcake boutique embellishments -button,flowers,bunting.  I also embossed the word 'enjoy' using a cuttlebug folder and then sanded it down and drew round the edges with glitter Sakura pen and cut round it. The bunting was done by attaching them to some double sided tape and on the back I attached some bakers twine and wrapped them round a flat stiring stick. finally I cut a few cupcakes out of the designer paper and attached them and added some Glossy accents to the image.
