Tea Party

It is time for a new challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow and this time we are calling it Eat and Drink.  We want you to make vintage or shabby chic projects that depict food or drink.

We are pleased to have a Guest Designer, Apollonia DeJong (a.k.a. Plony) joining us this time so please make her welcome.  Check out the wonderful creations on her blog by clicking here.

I started my card with some Bazzill card stock for the blank and then added two papers from Raspberry Road.  I used a scrap of cream card stock and created a mat with a Martha Stewart Around the Page punch and then inked it with some Peeled Paint Distress Ink by Ranger.  The image from Antique Images was mounted next.

Next I added a border of lace from Sussman's Bridal Supply and topped it with a variety of vintage cups and saucers from The Graphics Fairy and Intimate Wedding.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I coloured a couple white ones with a Promarker to get the dusty rose ones.  The leaves are a Martha Stewart punch and I made the swirls from the stems of the flowers.  Finally I added a teapot charm from Arton Bead Supply.

Pie Anyone?

The new two-week challenge at Frilly and Funkie is called EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY.  We want to see you create vintage or shabby chic projects that feature food or drink or both.

I found this great image online of a gorgeous cherry pie being taken out of the oven at My Kinda Vintage and decided to go with a cherry theme.  The cookbook cover was an online find. 

The card blank is some textured card stock from The Paper Studio and the papers are from Raspberry Road.  A Tim Holtz Collage Texture Fade was used to emboss the gold Recollections card stock.  I used a Martha Stewart Arch Lattice edge punch to create a little border and then added some ric rac from my sewing cupboard.   The pearls are from Dollarama and the button and floss are from my stash.

The lovely filigree corner piece has been painted with some red craft paint and then sealed with some Matte Multi Medium.  The little lace motif is actually a section cut from a longer piece of lace.  Everything has been aged with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Ranger.

The following items used in this card came from The Funkie Junkie Boutique where you will always find products at least 20% less than the manufacturer's suggested price.
