Wednesday Inspiration - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I get to share with you my favorite set from the May release!  It's called "China Fragments", and it has the most gorgeous tea cups with flowers on them!  I LOVE this set!!!  The tea cups come in 3 sizes and match the Spellbinders' Nested Tea Cup Dies.  I've also used the Tattered Blossoms and Tattered Blossoms Swirls Sets for these.  Here is my card using the large tea cup:

Here is a wall hanging I made using the medium and small tea cup:

The tea pot is from a chipboard album I bought at Michaels last year on clearance...I knew I'd use it for something!  This isn't what I planned to use it for when I bought it, but I love how it came out and it's perfect for the tea cup set and dies!

Here's a close up of the flower using the Tattered Blossoms Set:

And, a close up of the tea pot:

I colored these with Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits.  The tea pot is done with white paper that I stamped with various inks using the background stamp from the Broken Cinder Blocks Set and sponged a little.

Here are the complete ingredients and instructions for these which you can also see on the Heartfelt Creations Blog.
