A few weeks ago the Less is More challenge had "drink" as it's challenge theme and I seriously struggled trying to come up with an idea. I'm telling you this because I had the same struggle with this word, again!! I was ready to use the same stamp set that I had used for my LIM card when I decided to rummage through my stamps and see if I could come up with something else. Found a little stamp in a SU! set I have that features three little hot drinks, but after trying a couple of things using that stamp it just wasn't working for me. Then I remembered my newly acquired MFT ALM "Your My Cup of Tea". I decided to use that and do some spotlight paper piecing. The papers I used are from the BasicGrey Serendipity 6x6 pad. I matted the image with some kraft cardstock. I wanted to show that you can take a rather large image and keep it CAS by spotlighting a portion of the image.
Thanks for stopping by.... make sure you check out the cards from the rest of the design team: Melissa, Tracey, Jen, Ardyth, Judy, Maureen, Meghan and this week's guest designer, May. Can't wait to see what you come up with using this week's cue word!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white & kraft; Stamps: My Favorite Things ALM; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & SU! Pear Pizzazz; PP: BasicGrey

Love this!
Your spotlight paper piecing is genius! I would normally shy away from an image like that because I wouldn't know how to colour it but this is the perfect solution! Love the paper you used for it too!
I love those stamps by MFT! This one is perfect for the cue card and your paper pieced mug is perfect. I do believe I see Red Velvet Cake tea in that cup!
fantastic!!
Love the neutral tones for your paper piecing..... great idea to just highlight the cup :0)

You were my inspiration this week Rosemary!! I love your card and will be using your idea more often in my designs:).
I love the spotlight effect you used here! I would never think to do that with this image! Absolutely love it...all of your struggles with "Drink" paid off in the end :)
Another gorgeous card Rosie, love that paper piecing :) Viv xx
oh! This is so special, FAB! Very cool.
Love the untouched image and embellished tea cup! Beautiful, Rosemary!
Rosemary, I adore this image and the wonderful way you spotlighted the cup alone with patterned paper...genius!
What a fantastic idea ~ love the patterned paper you chose and the kraft matting really highlights your image.
