This week at Pile It On we're challenging you to use your Die cuts and/or Punches.
I used Mad Hatter from Doctor Digi's House of Stamps, along with dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I adore this "Happy Unbirthday" stamp from Rogue Redhead Designs, as I all-too-often want to send a birthday card to someone that I know will arrive late!
I dry-embossed the teapot & cups on a shiny cardstock, fussy-cut them, and heat-embossed them with metallic gold powder. The top layer was cut with the dies from a gold-foiled cardstock. I used the same shiny cardstock to make the little sugar cubes, which I heat-embossed with Holographic powder.
The background is a watercolor paper. I heat-embossed the sentiment directly onto it, and made the tea-stain with a TH stencil and distress inks.
The Mad Hatter was colored with Copic markers, fussy-cut, and made into a tag. I backed it with a White Rabbit image from a Graphic45 Wonderland-themed paper, and added a scrap ribbon piece that's been floating around my craft table for some time!
