Tea-rrific Card for March Joyful Stars Blog Hop

Welcome back to the March Joyful Stars Blog Hop! We are a group of Close to My Heart consultants who share something each month on the 9th and at 9PM EST. If you are coming from Betty Locco's blog you are on the right track. (The complete lineup is also on Joyce's blog in case you get lost.) Have fun being inspired!

My card features the fabulous March stamp of the month called "Tea--rrific". It is a set of 11 stamps which is available in March only for just $5 with a $50 CTMH purchase.

I wanted my teacup to look like it was porcelain so after it was colored with Shin Han Touch Markers and fussy cut I smooshed the piece into Versamark Ink and then applied Clear Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.  Here is a closeup view of the shiny surface of the teacup.
