I'm really happy to participate in the blog "waltz" at Waltzing Mouse Stamps, where the theme is "Birthday". I finally ordered some stamps earlier this month, since there was a free shipping special. A sucker yes, but a happy sucker I am. The stamps are pretty fabulous.
I purchased a couple of stamp sets that coordinate with my Nestabilities dies, and one set of Tea sentiments. The set however, has this lovely tea cup image. Lookie...
Isn't she dainty? I paper pieced the cup and added a little accent with my white gel pen.
Here is a close up of the sparkle I added to the steam. I couldn't resist.
Well, this will be going off in the mail at the end of the month. I'm safe posting this, I'm sure the lady that this is going to, doesn't read my little blog :)
