The Play Date Cafe PDCC No. 37

You're Invited to Tea This card is for this week's The Play Date Cafe Challenge #37. It's been a long time since I've been able to play for one of these challenges, and then it happened that this week was extra challenging! This beautiful photo is so open to interpretation. I went to the photo's website for the photo credit and spent time dreaming about the beautiful French pottery there. Wow! Then I went for an absolutely literal interpretation of that photo! I got out my scor-pal, made bead board using every 1/2 inch mark, and then chalk inked them with creamy brown. Then came the lemon tart cardstock, the certainly celery, and pure poppy. I figured out instead of sewing the button flowers on, I'd just put some brads through them - so ridiculously easy I thought why haven't I done this sooner? I used SU's white craft ink on the tea cups and tea pot and then heat embossed with two layers of UTEE. I thought that made them look more ceramic - at least in real life! Thanks for stopping by!
