FRESH BREWED AT FYI, AND A CRAFT STAMPER SNIPPET!

Hi there my lovely blogging friends - I hope you are all having an enjoyable week?
*********
It's time for another Challenge at FYI, and as always, Steph has provided us with a beautiful inspirational photo. 
This one is quite dark and brooding, with wonderful shades of green and orange, but you can interpret the picture any way you wish.
******* 
As it's the first challenge of the month, there will be a prize for the winner of the Challenge, of three digi images from our generous sponsor - Fresh Brewed Designs
The DT have also been given some of their fab. images to work with.
*********** 
I have used the "Ladybug Teapot" digi, coloured with Copics, cut out and
slightly curved, then attached with silicone glue onto two oval Nestie layers. 
A sprinkling of Glamour Dust on the flowers.
The gingham is a Wendy Vecchi rubber stamp from the Nature's Art set (love this stamp).
All cardstock from Stampin' Up.
The tiny "party" stamp is from the Papermania Chatsworth set.
"You're Invited" stamp from K andCo.
***********

Finally, here is a little snippet from my project published in the June issue of
