Imagine the Eyelet Border punch strip as a delicate table cloth, put out especially for the tea party. The technique I used is called Paper Piecing, stamping on another piece of cardstock, cutting out, and gluing on top of already stamped image.
I paper pieced the bottom of the tea pot (along with some sponging for shading), the tea cup, and the tea bag label. This eliminates the need for any masking. A little bit of shading under the cup and pot with Watercolor Crayons complete the scene.Oh, BTW, I did some google research on vintage wallpaper for this one and received some viruses and trojans on my computer for my effort. Unfun! But all is fixed, thanks to my multi-talented, company-computer-guy husband.

Lovely, it looks like the teapot is on a tablecloth! I love that effect with the "wallpaper" in the back. Nice scene!
Beautiful card and the paper piercing adds a nice depth. Your description of the lace tablecloth and the way the teapot and cut were sitting really did look like a table ready for our afternoon tea.
This is beautiful. I wasn't sure if I needed this set, but samples like this are convioncing me that I do.
