 Now for my card. I absolutely had to use Once Upon A Princess...it just wouldn't be right otherwise! So I made a cute little shaped invitation for a tea party. I could totally see it used for a little girl's tea party play date or birthday party.

I welded the shadow for the tea pot together using Design Studio and then created the regular shape to fit the card. I used a few different shades of pink (of course) for the tea pot and embossed the main part with Swiss Dots.

I cut the tea party words from Once Upon A Princess and used my white pen to enhance the light pink cardstock.

The "You're Invited" sentiment stamp is a Fiskars Repositionable Rubber Stamp set and I cut the shape from Once Upon A Princess and put an eyelet in it. I pop-dotted it, then tied it with light pink twine.

I also did a simple invitiation stamp on the inside so it would be quick to fill out. It would also be super cute to print out a cute poem about the event on the computer and cut it to fit inside.

I hope you enjoyed my simple, pretty tea party invitation. Check back tomorrow to see another shaped card that is a completely different style!

Now, head over to see Brynn's blog to see her royal project!
