The new challenge theme today at

I decided to alter my perspex cup stand,
Here it is, if you wonder about the colours on it , there were inks added as tints in its former life and I tried many things including nail varnish remover to get them off.
So I gave up and decided they would add to my shading efforts. I also wanted to use a small piece of this pretty napkin as well.
As you can see these are the sides I made to decorate the stand., along side the ruler.
I used embossed card and shaded this with blue distress ink and a little sprayed watercolour. paint.
The stamped images came from a Dina Wakley set.
Here you see the reverse side in place,
Now I have a cup mat that is quite nice to look at from both sides.
Thank you for calling in today, you are most welcome here
If you have called in to share a cuppa today, please scroll down to my earlier post.

How lovely to be able to choose from day to day which side you're in the mood for! I love both of them - the girl with flowers in her hair, and those delightful birds (what a great napkin) - and yes, I agree, the tinting just adds to the atmosphere.
