For my card, the base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I found this cute patterned paper at Bennion Crafts by Graphic 45. When I saw this I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! It measures 4 x 5 1/4. For the little tea set I pulled out my Once Upon a Princess cartridge. When I found them in the book I knew I had to cut them because of the crown. (This Queen definitely loves crowns!) I cut the little tea cups out at 3/4 inches for both layers. The tea pot was cut out at 1 3/4 inches. I used a silver gel pen for the handles and the tops and bottoms of the cups and tea pot. I used a Stampin' Up! scallop edge punch, and a Martha Stewart edge punch. For the sentiments, I used two Stampin' Up! punches. I don't know if you can see it, but I put some Tulle behind the sentiment. I added some pearls from Recollections in the corners.

Fantastic card Laura!!! I love the papers your used and that great tea set. I love the idea of the tulle behind the sentiment piece. I'm always at a loss at how to use it other that to tie bows. I love this idea. :)
