Large Cup 3 x 2 5/8”

Today I have a 5 x 7 canvas with stamped tea cups, precariously stacked.
I had the idea in my head, loved the direction it was going in with the stamped and colored cups, but then it just seems like it needs something else…but I ran out of time and brain cells over the weekend. This is one of those things that I’ll set aside and most likely rework until I am happier with it.
On that note though, I like that it really looks like an elegant Victorian tea cup. I used embossing ink, carefully applying it to the rim only, by inking just that part of the die template, called reverse stenciling. I embossed in the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® machine, then added embossing powder and heated.
The saucer is heat embossed the same way. I curled the cups to make them look rounded, and used SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ 3D Foam Squares and Crafty Foam Tape to give the cups some lift.
Supplies:
- Spellbinders Grand Calibur machine, S4-350 Nested Tea Cups, S5-023 Mega Ovals
- SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L: Crafty Foam Tape, Crafty Power Tape, 3D Foam Squares
- Flourishes: Sweat Pea, Lace Heart, Calendar Set 3 Stamp Sets
- Clearsnap: Top Boss, Colorbox Frost White Pigment Inks
- Copic Markers: B21, 23, 24, 26, G21, 24, Y02, V01, 04, 05, 09
- Sparkle N’ Sprinkle: Vintage and Outerspace Embossing Powders
- WorldWin Papers: ColorMates Creamy Butter, Spring Water, Sea Salt
- My Mind’s Eye: Union Square “Favorite” paper
- Paint, Canvas, Ribbon

What a gorgeous stack of treasured antique tea cups — BEAUTIFUL!!! Makes me think of the elderly lady my Mom watched over, visited with and took groceries to every week when I was a little girl. She was my Mom’s best friend’s Mom. I always got to have coffee with them, served in beautiful antique cups on saucers and a sweet treat. My “coffee” was mostly milk, but she’d set a beautiful table, including antique cream and sugar set, which was gifted to me when I got married years later! Still love how it ensures I’ll never forget how special she was in my life!

Oh, I love this! I never realized how tea cups reminded me of fall and winter. And I have a cabinet full of all sorts of herbal teas and flavored green teas that I start drinking as soon as the weather gets cool. I love the idea of a sit-down with a friend over a cup of hot tea at this time of year. It also reminds me of the Aunt Dimity series of light mysteries that take place in England. It all gives me such a feeling of comfort. Thank you for the reminder. Beautiful job.
