The pile of glass cups is getting so small..only three to go now that I have the Ninth Cup done and dusted! This one was so much fun! I have a thing for elves so I was excited to find this very small elf at Michaels. Had to fix his paint a little..it wasn't quite up to snuff, so then he got coated in some clear nail polish & glitter...Of course I had to make a real scarf....
You might be wondering HOW even this pertains to Linda's tag which is a cup of coffee...
Well, you are aren't you...Ok, let me go with what I was thinking....COFFEE IS MAGICAL OMG. Plus I was already using a cup so adding another seemed like overkill....I did use that very large snowflake as a background that you can see behind the elf that matches up on the coffee cup.
Other than that, I divereged wildly from her tag with a bunch of rainbow colors including orange glass toadstools. I had to build a little shelf out of foam for the elf, which I hot glued in and coated in glitter glue & glitter.
Added some gold gems to the rim & inked up some of the white paint.
Added some other bright colored inks on the outside & more gold & glitter glue. Was going for a funky tea shop look!
Currently I am stalking the mailbox! Grabbed a bunch of goodies from Linda's Shop on Black Friday. In fact, it was some of the only shopping I did! Good times! Linda's Shop, The Funkie Junkie is sponsoring this challenge and I saw a lot of the awesome elements she has used on past tags for sale!
Happy Hump Day!
Wow..Lovely cosy scene and loving the glitter ! I also loved the colors on outer side of the cup :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Coffee IS magical, but HOLY WOW, Coffee with a miniature elf in it has to be EPIC!! Elf on a shelf ain't got nothing on this little cutie. Your tag 9 is FABULOUS Mitra and I love that you used similar items as Linda, but just went to your happy place on the other elements you used. It's a good one!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I LOVE this! Awesome colours and glitter and texture in a teacup....sooooo clever!
ReplyDeleteWow...I think this might be my favorite....so fun and glittery and pretty and colorful!....very cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant tie-in to the challenge, heehee! That little elf sure is magical...& so is that bling on the outside of the cup. GORGEOUS....can't believe you're almost finished. I'll be a bit sad, to be honest...I've REALLY enjoyed seeing you decorate these!!!
