Let them drink Tea - Screen Divider Card

I was inspired (again) by the Screen Divider card challenge at CCEE Stampers & the Ugly Paper challenge at the Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers. This time, I made a 3-panel Birthday Card for my husband.

Apart from the shiny yellow & white papers, all the DPs are from Graphic 45. I feel guilty calling Designer paper "ugly" but for me that's not necessarily a bad thing. This "Gilded Lily" collection by Graphic 45 certainly captures the style of the era, but basing a paper pack on a history that ended in infamous bloodshed seems a little much...looking forward to their "Perfectly Pitchfork" collection, ha (sorry, too soon?)!

Anyhoo, I had tons of fun making this! The fancy cake was cut in 3 layers on my Cricut. The teapot is a die, as is the scalloped label I used for the bottom. The top is cut with a punch. I used a Sharpie to color the adhesive gemstone flourish. My husband definitely got a kick out of it!

I was intrigued by the Screen Divider card challenge at CCEE Stampers, so I used the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers to make my own version:

I was also inspired (again) by the Ugly Paper challenge at the Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers. If you shop at Michaels, you might remember this DP...it was a deal from Recollections a few years back. A friend of mine once described it as "hideous...who would buy this?!" and me & another friend raised our hands...hey, it was on sale! And Michaels gave away a pack of the same paper at a crop we attended, and you know that me & my crafty friend grabbed it up, ha! She used it for Thanksgiving decorations, which were beautiful, but I'm still struggling to use mine up! And my other friend still hates it & says so, ha again!
