Polka Dot Mojo

Over at The Shabby Tea Room, they are having a tea party. This is my submission, based on their inspiration photo. I am wondering why these dots are called "Polka" dots. I am not sure if there is a connection to that style of dance. Hmmmm.


All the stamps are from Waltzingmouse Stamps. The card is based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch #140.  Here's a closer look at it:

It's hard to tell, but that is metallic gold ink around the rim of the cup. In Real Life it shines. Hmmmm.  The Tea Bag gusseted gift bag (below) is an amazing template that Claire Brennan at Waltzingmouse Stamps has made available free on her blog. If you click on that link, you need to scroll ALLLLLL the way to the end of that really long post to get to the template file. I made a matching tea bag with little tag to round out the set.



Well, all this talk of tea is making me yearn for a cuppa. Thanks for stopping by!
