Wonderful

How adorable is this teacup - so cute!  I am sure it would come as no surprise to you to learn it is a Spellbinder Paper Arts Die. 

The Nested Tea Cups Shapeabilities® have been designed for Spellbinders by my dear friend  Laura Kirste Campbell.  It has been sponged using Scattered Straw Distress Ink, while still in the Die.

 

The saucer is from the Floral Doily Motifs Shapeabilities® and the placement from the Romantic Rectangles Nestabilities, the pearls are from Want2Scrap.  The thick stripped ribbon is recycled.

The gorgeous faux lace is from the Spellbinders Damask Accents Shapeabilities®, also designed by  Laura Kirste Campbell.  All of my Dies have been cut using the Grand Calibur - I love the way you can cut so many Dies at the one time - you have to love that!

The sentiment is from the Penny Black set Social Butterfly - would it surprise you to know that Laura Kirste Campbell designed this too!  As you can tell, I am her number one fan!! 

This card is for the following challenges:

Catch The Bug - Anything Goes

Craft Your Days Away - Doily's and Lace 

Craftymess – Ribbons & Lace

Hotshot Crafts  - Distress Inks

LOC Thinking of You

I just love my Spellbinders Dies - there is such a variety and we all know how much they add to our cards....what did we do before this addiction.....LOL!

I especially love these Spellbinders Nested Tea Cups illustrated by Laura Kirste Campbell

I have cut them out using my Spellbinders Grand Calibur, I love the crisp cut it gives and the deep embossing.

I used the Dies as a mask for sponging with Distressing Ink once they had been cut out...it is always such an effective technique.  The Bee is from the Honeysweet clear art stamp set and has been cut out with the wings popped up on foam tape.

The sentiment is from the Layers of Color Sentimental Banners clear art stamp set and cut out with the co-ordinating Spellbinders Ribbon Banners Die.

The saucer is from the Spellbinders Floral Doily Accent Die and is partially stamped with the Honeysweet clear art stamp set - the same one the bee comes from.

This card is for the following challenges:

One Stitch At A Time - Anything Goes

The Crafty Pad - The Letter "B" (bee)

Crafty Emma - Lots of Layers

Hiding in my Craft Room - Super Scraps Saturday - use up those scraps

Now for a little 'insider information' LOL!  As you may have read by now, Layers of Color is no longer manufacturing their stamps or selling them online.  The owner and artist, Laura Kirste Campbell is now a full-time product designer for major craft industry companies.  You can find out the details here.  But, despite this bitter sweet transition, more new and unique Layers of Color style stamp designs designed by Laura will soon be available worldwide this Spring!  A more detailed announcement is coming soon...and I cannot wait!!

Can you handle a little bit more excitement - Nina Brackett will also be illustrating for this company - so it is WIN:WIN!! 

Thank you for visiting today - I always appreciate the time it has taken you to come and leave a comment - I read each one and you know I love to see you! God bless you!

LOC Floral Blend

I am having a lot of fun with the new Nested Tea Cups Die Template, designed for Spellbinders Paper Arts by Laura Kirste Campbell owner and artist of Layers of Color

I have paired it with this gorgeous image from Layers of Color - the Dotted Peonies clear art stamp set.

The Nested Tea Cups and Class Ovals LG Die have been cut using my Spellbinders Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine, I have used the Die as a mask sponging before removing it from the Die

The image from the Dotted Peonie clear art stamp set has been coloured using SU Chalks/Pastels and a Blender Pen

The DP is from DCWV - Once Upon a Time Pack, Embossing is done using a Stampin' Up folder and ran through the Grand Calibur using the Grand Raspberry Plate - specifically for the Grand Calibur - and it works beautifully!
