21st Birthday Party

A dear friend of mine's daughter is turning 21 soon and her  idea for a 21st Birthday Party with her University friends is a good old fashioned Tea Party. I offered to create her invitations and wanted to keep true to her personality and this is what I came up with. I must be honest and say that the inspiration came from a picture I found on Pinterest and I tried to make it my own. So here goes:

The tea pot template I  found on Pinterest but for the life of me I cannot remember which blog it was linked to - I do have the SVG FILE on my computer. So should anybody be interested in obtaining the template then email me and I will forward on to you.

The range of papers is from the Grace Taylor Vintage Collection with matching card stock as the base and lid. I have used my Cricut Expression to cut out the pieces to make up the Teapot card, flourish and the bases of the Mini prima type roses. The roses are handmade by myself and the leaves are from the Cuttlebug Quilled Chrysanthemum Kit.

The label with "You're Invited" is from the Couture Creations and all the inking is Tim Holtz distress ink.
I also used embossing powder and tiny micro beads to enhance the tip of the lid to make it appear rounded. I discovered this technique a few months back and really enjoy the end result!

So that is what I came up with - hope you like and I would love to hear what you think of them.

See ya!!
