The current JUGs challenge is a template challenge which I generally don't participate in because I find templates to be a little well, challenging! I have messed around with a few, most notably templates created by the uber creative template queen, Lauren Meader. However, when I saw the tea cup template created by Claire Brennan, owner of WaltzingMouse Stamps, I was smitten! I just had to get that template and give it a go. While it looked complicated at first, turns out the little tea cup and saucer are pretty easy to put together. The hardest part was creating the "footer". I think I did a pretty good job for my first outing with this little template. I don't think it will be my last....
I used PTI's Vintage Cream cardstock to make the cup and saucer to give it a little more weight. I used a little image from the WaltzingMouse set Very Vintage Labels 10 to decorate the cup. I stamped the image using SU! Pretty in Pink. The rim of the cup and saucer were edged with gold ink. To finish it off I added Champagne stickles and a pink bow.
Supplies: Template: WaltzingMouse - Tea Cup; Cardstock: PTI Vintage Cream; Ink: SU! Pretty in Pink; Encore Gold; Champagne stickles; Midori Pink Organza ribbon

The teacup and saucer set is amazing- I have to ask, is it simply a paper craft, or a type of greeting card? Very nice work- simply beautiful!
