TEA PARTY LAYOUT

Today I am sharing a layout with you that features Marion Smith Designs Mad Tea Party design paper.  I absolutely love this beautiful collection.  The sweet picture is from Tim Holtz's pack of Found Relatives.

I heavily distressed the edges of the floral side of Marion Smith's Mad Tea Party - Spot of Tea with Tim Holtz Distress Tool and  Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen before adhering it to another sheet of the Spot of Tea design paper using the reverse side.  I added the teapot and cup brads from BoBunny Little Miss Brads so that they peaked out between the tears on the distressed paper.  The "Yesterday" fancy chipboard embellishment is from Want2Scrap and I painted it with DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Iced Espresso.

I used Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One die cut another piece of of the pink side of the Spot of Tea design paper to create the base for my photo and embellishments.  Underneath the left corner I tucked the Alice paper dolls from the Marion Smith Cut & Create design paper.  The ephemera is from KaiserCraft Sweet Nothing Collectibles Die Cut Shapes, which I added Art Glitter Ultrafine Transparent Glitter in Crystal for some extra sparkle, and the resin accent is from Webster Pages.  I added the little spoon from the Eyelet Outlet to the sweet little doily from Maya Road.  To create the leaves I stamped them with Tim Holtz Forest Moss Distress Ink using Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3547 - Bold Leaf PreCut Set stamp and die cut the leaves with Heartfelt Creations HCD 736 - Classic Leaf Die.  The flowers are from Prima.

To continue with my tea party theme I used the Want2Scrap® Chipboard Teacup and painted it with DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Gold and then sprayed it with Crafter's Companion Iridescent Spray & Sparkle Spray.  With Tuxedo Black Memento Ink I stamped the clock image from Marion Smith Designs Stamp Collection - Curious on the teacup.  To create the look of steam from the teacup I used Want2Scrap® Swirls Finesse LeCreme Pearls.
