Click on photo for more details
Stamp:  Teacup is from vintage 1995 Stampin' Up set called        "Teacup & Pansies" I have acquired 3 of the 4 stamps in this set through garage sales and thrift stores, this pretty china cup has been used many many times for my cards over the years.

Dies:  PTI's Gran's Garden 
 (leaves~covering an "oops" that occurred after I finished the entire card~~these leaves somewhat resemble the Camellia sinensis, one of the plant varieties tea leaves are actually picked from 😊) 
and Birthday Cheer (I cut the 'Make a Wish' die to use just the 'wish'); Wonky Stitch Frame is from an online company and don't have a name

Cardstock:   PTI Stamper's Select White; Recollection's Ice Blue

Markers:  Spectrum Noir; Gold glitter pen

    Oh so pretty, Helen! Shh, don’t mention the Oops as we’d never know if you didn’t tell us. That tea cup looks so realistic and the green foliage really pops. Your sentiment is perfect and so clever to combine two different Dies.
