Guest Designer at the Shabby Tea Room

Hello Friends!!

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer at

the Shabby Tea Room for July!

It is week #121 in the Tea Room and the theme is

"You're Invited" and we have this fabulous inspiration photo.

Here is an invitation that I made for you!!

I used GIMP to paint the tea pot, and cupcake images.  The cupcake stand, roses on the tea pot, tiny white flowers and leaves are all parts of images that I have altered from Karen the Graphics Fairy.  I used Inkscape to create the "You're invited to play in the Shabby Tea Room," text, outline and cut lines.  I then used my black cat cougar to cut the die cut out!  

Of course I used my favorite embellishments from Pro 31 Designs to embellish my invitation.  I have pink and champagne (button flower centers) pearls.  Pink and ivory curly roses.  Ivory beaded sprays.  The fabby Pink seam binding I bought from Debbie at the Tea Room.  Below you can see the fabulous ivory drop bead trim that Esmeralda sent me as a gift (thank you), as well as my favorite May Arts green leaf trim.

I inked all my edges with Ranger's Old Paper distress inks.  I used an embossing folder to give my background piece more depth.  I also went over the raised areas with the Old paper, and distressed the edges with my scissors.

Here is what my die cuts looks like digitally, and separate. 

I just love LOVE them both!!

I also created another little invitation for inspiration.

I kept it simple, using the same Pro 31 Designs Embellsihments and Seam Binding from Debbie.  I also used some liquid pearls by Ranger in Bisque, that way it still looks fabulous, but will be flat enough to fit in the envelope.

I did some doodling with my perfect medium pen and perfect pearls in perfect copper by Ranger.

Here is a look at the back of the invitation tag.

This time, I used GIMP to create my text and lines.  Punched a hole in the top of the tag with my Crop o Dile, and added a grommet.

Here is a look at the collage sheet.

I have created this into a collage sheet, here it is below.

$5.00 for the digital collage sheet

I sure hope you  will accept my invitation to come and play at the Shabby Tea Room with me!!
