my cup of tea {DT work for heartfelt creations}

hello scrappy friends!

we are delighted to present the OLD ENGLISH GARDEN collection. come have a cup of tea with us in our old english garden. with flower blooms as fresh as the morning dew and cracked walls as old as the dirt beneath it, this set offers a rustic flavor. the typography flows as smoothly as a calm spring breeze. Be sure to grab the custom die for maximum creative versatility and fun 3D depth! there are 6 new precut stamp sets and one beautiful new exclusive spellbinders die designed for HEARTFELT CREATIONS. 

and this what i've created with the FANTASTIC new release:

HEARTFELT CREATIONS products used on this project:

HCPC 3468 tattered blossoms precut set 

HCPC 3469 tattered blossom swirls precut set 

HCPC 3472 china fragments precut set 

HCPC 3470 broken cinder blocks precut set 

HCPC 3376 distressed leaves precut set 

HCPC 3303 posy patch flowers precut set 

HCD 701 posy patch die 

HCD 722 tattered blossoms die 

nested leaves nestabilities 

nested tea cups nestabilities 

i started by preparing my background - i shaped the edges of a 12 x 12" pattern paper {PRIMA marketing LEDGER paper pad} with martha stewart “CHERISH” punch around the page set. then, i cut a 28 x 28 cm square from my core'dinations "rose embroidery" pink cardstock and stamped the corner swirl from HC tattered blossom swirls set in all 4 corners and the background image from HC broken cinder blocks set along the edges.

i cut another piece of pattern paper {27 x 27cm} and shape its edges with martha stewart “cherish” punch around the page set; placed it on top of the pink cardstock and stitched it with green DMC thread. i punched 4 stripes from pink and blue pattern paper using FISKARS “apron lace” edge punch, curled the edges and framed my picture with them.

then i stamped 4 middle and 1 large cups with HC china fragments set on different color pattern paper and die cut them with nested tea cups nestabilities. i coloured the edges and the large flowers with martha stewart golden glitter marker and adhered them around the picture with 3d double sided type.

using the HC tattered blossoms precut set and HC tattered blossoms die i stamped and die cut the layers for my tattered blossoms. i coloured them a bit with TIM HOLTZ' “tattered rose” and “victorian velvet” distress ink pads, embossed and shaped the petals by hand and layered the flowers. i added STICKLES “golden” glitter glue in the middle of the blossom to make it prettier.

using the HC distressed leaves set and nested leaves nestabilities i stamp and die cut the leaves. i used 3 sizes for the different blossoms. to match the cups pattern i stamped and cut few posies with HC posy patch flowers set and HC posy patch die; embossed their petals, added a rhinestone in the middle and glued them with 3d tape around the tattered blossoms.

i used PRIMA "almanac" alphabet stickers {the words} and pink puffy alphabet for the title.
