"Tea-rific" Birthday

Today's card is one I made for my Hostess Club swap and for LNS Challenge 159. My swap requirement was a birthday card using card stock, no designer paper or ribbons.  I absolutely LOVE the Tea Shoppe set in the occasions mini catalog.

I used several products for this card. It begins with card stock in River Rock,  Bravo Burgundy and Blushing Bride.  I stamped in classic ink in Bravo Burgundy. I used the Big Shot with Framed Tulips embossing folder and the new Paper Doily Sizzlits Die. I also used a few punches and of course 2 fabulous stamp sets, Tea Shoppe and Morning Cup.
