Delft Tea Service Card

By judicious use of masking and ink colour, I created this Delft tea service using some of the stamps designed by Linda Williams for Clarity.

Die cut a topper from Clarity stencil card using the 6” nested squares die and a topper from blue card using the 6.25” nested squares picot die.

Draw a light pencil line across the topper at 2” and 4” from the bottom.

Stamp the plate from the When in Doubt Make Tea stamp set into the centre of the top line in Paradise Versafine Clair ink and mask it up.

Add a further plate either side.

Move the mask as required and add two further plates in the same ink.

On the second pencil line down, add the teapot from the same stamp set into the centre. Mask up.

Add a cup either side,

mask them up and finish the row with a further cup either side. Remove all the masks.

Draw in the shelves using a blue micron pen. Add stamping to the edges using the long pattern stamp from the Mum’s Kitchen set in Paradise Versafine Clair ink.

Add cups hanging from the bottom shelf in the same ink using one of the cup stamps from Mum’s Kitchen.

Add one of the sentiments from the When in Doubt make Tea set and mat up the topper.

Stamping directly onto the front of a 7” x 7” white card blank add one of the tiny corner stamps into each corner.

To finish, add the topper to the card blank.
