Im not going bonkers honest! :) lol.
You know when you get something in your head.......... a rogue idea and you just run with it???? Well this was mine! ;) This little teacup fairy inspired me to create a tablecloth background to go with the english tea-cup. Im not too sure I pulled it off, and it is a little less frothy looking in RL.
I stitched the lace through the holes of the MS punch and then added beads in a flower design to secure it. Its only raised about 3mm from the backing card and is quite soft, not dense. I cut the blue leaves from the inner part of the lace and used the MS PAP punch again only smaller. The image was coloured with pro-markers and a little shimmer from a sakura crystal glitter pen was added around the tea-cup flower design, (just like I remember my aunties having;) lol )
I am entering this project (tentatively) in the below competitions:
Mos Digital Pencil - Spring colours and flowers - I stitched beads to look like mini flowers, I hope this qualifies.

Magical Mondays - Lace
Do You Stack Up - Anything goes - 3rd entry
Stamp Something - With flowers
Sweet Stampin - Oh so girly! - 2nd entry
