Dynamic Duo's Challenge #10 and Retro Sketch's Challenge #19

Happy Sunday...hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!  This weekend was a nice and quiet one, got lots of dolly domestic stuff done, even made a big pot of homemade chicken noodle!  I also had plenty of time to get caught up on a few card challenges too.  I have one card for for two challenges today, Retro Sketches and Dynamic Duo's...I really love both of these challenges, they are so fun and and really make for some beautiful cards.  You must check out all of the entry's for both of them, I promise you will love everything you see.  For this card I wanted to pull out some supplies that have not see much love.  I was reaching for my Half & Half die and grabbed the tea time border instead, completely forgot I had this.  I could not wait to run it through my big shot, so amazed at how nice it came out.  I did have to cut one of the tea cups off the end to make it fit my card, but it is a fabulous die.  You have to check out Cottage Cutz, so many wonderful dies and an entire line of "Tea" themed ones...all so wonderful. Here is my card and thanks for taking a peek!

  3. What a fabulous card. I have never seen a die like that, and I am going to check it out right now. Love your row of tea accessories, and those elegant pearls. Green and purple are a wonderful color combination, and just perfect for a tea party card.

  7. This is SO adorable, KIm! Great 'tea party' colors and wonderful details! I instantly fell in love with the border die and since I had an order almost ready at Frantic Stamper, I tacked it on and it will be here soon! Actually, I'm not a huge tea drinker but have lots of friends who are so can't wait to use it. Thanks for the inspiration--and a little enabling!
