Tea for Two...and Two for Tea!

Tea for two and two for tea...this image that I used on this birthday card just makes me think of that old song lol. As soon as I saw Nana Vic's Vickie Quickie for February 4th, I knew that I wanted to combine it with one of her other images that she had given away on another Vickie Quickie. The first image is of a beautiful china tea set. You have got to see this image to believe it...the detail on it is just incredible! You can find Vickie's Tea Set and other image I used here. I didn't see the sentiment there, but I'm sure that she will be adding that soon. So the image that I wanted to add this beautiful tea set to is called Timeless Bears. When you see this adorable image you will understand why I wanted to put the two images together. These bears are just too cute for words.
Now you tell me, aren't these two images just perfect for each other? The style of card is called a Surprise Pop Up card. You can find a fantastic tutorial for this style of card here. So I couldn't decide what dp to use with my image...just didn't seem to have anything that went with the colors that I had colored my image (guess I should have picked the papers first, then colored the image lol), so I decided to use the Timeless Bears image to make my own dp. I colored the tea pot, cup and saucer and plate with white pearlescent watercolor paints that my dear friend Kim sent to me. I used the blue pearlescent color for the middle part of the tray underneath (I made the tray more like a doilie lol). Unfortunately the picture gives the cs a bluish tinge near the bottom, but I've taken 4 pictures and I can't get one that shows the color right. There is no blue tinge, it is all red lol.


I added silver stickles to the flowers just to give them a little "pop". And I used a flower shaped eyelet for my pull tab and some thin red ribbon.


Sentiments on the pop up were stamped with SU Cherry Cobbler ink.
