Guest Designing for The Shabby Tea Room week #117 - Sweet Summertime

Hello - 

I am so honored to be guest designing for The Shabby Tea Room this week. 

The theme is Sweet Summertime and the challenge is to create a card, layout, or project finding inspiration with the photograph and using the colors Teal or Aqua, Pink and Brown.

I was inspired by the teacup and the stripes in the table cloth as well as the pearls. Instead of being literal and using pearls, I went with a pink polk-a-dot paper to represent the pearls. 

To dress things up a bit, a length of seam binding (from Deb's Simple Treasures) was added and tied in a fussy bow embellished with a button and twine. 

A beautiful frame was stamped inside a coordinating die to serve as my focal image adding the delicate teacup to the center further adding some embellishing touches with a paper rose and trimmings from a vintage book.
