Mother's Day Wish




 Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's. Todays card is wee bit of strawberry tea. I used the Cottage Cutz English Doily & Frame die for the vine style frame. I used the strawberries and leaves from the Cottage Cutz Tea Cakes die to add color & dimension to the frame. Each strawberry was added with a foam dot. The MOM came from the Cottage Cutz Lollipop Alphabet. I used the teabag off the die along with another strawberry as a dangle on the ends of the cord.
 I used the Cottage Cutz Teacup with Saucer & Tea Bag die for the cup. To add dimension to the cup I cut several teacups than cut the handle a back lip off. Using foam dots, raised the main part of the cup. I did the same with the saucer, I cut an cut additional piece of the lower section of the saucer and raised it up. The cup really looks like it is sitting inside the saucer.
The strawberry decor on the teacup is from the Cottage Cutz Tea Cakes die. I used a Copic Marker to add a swirl of vine and added the strawberry and leaves. The same was added to the saucer.The Teacup was highlighted in two shades of pink ink.  Red ink was sponged to the edge of the card.

The following Cottage Cutz dies were used for this card
English Floral Doily & Frame
Lollipop Alphabet
Teacup with Saucer & Tea Bag
Tea Cakes

Thank You, Barry
