Gorgeous Cards, I love the teacups card so much.
I adore these two cards Theresa. I watched your video and the repeated cup pattern and the beautiful colours and flowers on each work well with the spotted acrylic, and then those watercoloured flowers look beautiful and such a pretty colour too. x
Great cards and wonderful video to accompany them. Thanks for including so many good tips and techniques in the video. I’m very visual, too, and videos always teach me so much and inspire me. I, too, love tea, but there’s no way I can drink it at home in a small cup like these! Mine have to hold at least 16 ozs! The acetate overlay was a brilliant finishing touch.
What a wonderful use of the stamps to decorate the tea cups. great idea. Thanks for the video also. Love the acetate layer.
O love the idea of stamping different flowers on each tea cup! It really adds variety and lots of colors t the card front. The acetate just “Kisses” the cups. I love that acetate. The second card is such a beautiful card. The coloring is stunning!
Lovely cards, thank you for the inspiration!
Stunning cards! Especially love the second one!!
Love those gorgeous tea cups with the sweet flowers! Also love the second card! Thanks Therese
I love dots!!! Amazing cards!
Fun teacups and those flowers are beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing them!!

You cards are beautiful! I love the video, too!
BEAUTIFUL cards!!!
LOVE your wonderful watercolour teacups with the acetate overlay, ADORE your DELICATE flowers sending love & hugs … I confess, all three stamp sets are on my wishlist!!!
THANK YOU for sharing your INKY INSPIRATION and video, it was a pleasure to watch you create and colour AND to learn your COOL techniques for selecting the area of your panel and to stamp inside the teacups too, LOTS for me to try 🙂
Search creative cards I love the beauty of the flowers on the second one.
Clever use of the acetate!
You used my two favorite sets from this new release! I love seeing more ideas with the teacups and the flowers from Adore You.
Such a lovely card! Being a tea lover too I just adore this stamp set â¤
amazing cards!
Hi Therese,
This is my first time stopping at your blog! I love both cards! I am partial to tea cups. I have a collection that started with my bridal shower. I had a tea party! Dresses and hats, and everyone brought their favorite tea cup and saucer so we could each choose our favorite for the day. The refreshments? Everything had chocolate in, just as I requested! People asked what I would like for gifts. My husband and I drank tea every night. I asked for a tea cup with a saucer or a teapot to keep the tea in, for pouring. I ended up with over 30 tea sets. I love my collection and have a small collection of tea cups/saucers/tea pots in stamps. I love the elegant shape of this particular cup. I love how you colored it…and those dots! Well how original can you get?! Maybe you should have a Tea Party for an upcoming holiday!
The flowers are stunning! They are so beautiful. They are colored so delicately! Thanks for the video!
He IS Able!
