Second Cup Sunday - Afternoon Tea

Hello and welcome!

I have a mixed media "Afternoon Tea" card for you today featuring a background made with lots of "Pixie Sparkles" from Cosmic Shimmer.  The stamp set if a large full card size stamp set from Creative Expressions called "Afternoon Tea."  Here's a closer look at my card:

I took a piece of watercolor paper and spent about an hour adding 6 different colors of Cosmic Shimmer "Pixie Sparkles."  I have listed them below if you are interested in them.  In case you are not familiar with them, they are powders that you sprinkle on watercolor paper, then add water (I used a spray bottle) and the colors jump to life with lots of metallic look and shine to them.  It's hard capture it in the the pictures.  I dried the paper in between each layer of color to add depth to the background.  After that I stamped the image and cut it down for the card front.

When I cut it down, I cut off the top butterfly part of the stamp, so I added one butterfly die cut to cover the chopped off one on the top right, and then added a 2nd smaller one near the cup of tea.  The butterfly dies I used are also from Creative Expressions, called "Butterfly Delights."

Here's one last look at my card:

I hope you like my card for today, I had a lot of fun getting inky and messy making it!

And now just a quick kindness reminder:

"Always be a little kinder than necessary."
