Twinkling Tea

I really struggled with this week's Twinkling Tuesday sketch. It's not that the sketch is not great (because it IS) but I think I've lost my mojo (said in my best Austin Powers voice! LOL).... I wanted to play along in this week's Raspberry Suite color challenge because it is a gorgeous color combo and thought this Two Scoops dp fit perfect! I paper pieced the tea pot from Tea for Two, cut out two white Labels One shapes with my Cuttlebug, added a little ribbon, and popped one up on dimensionals. I cris-crossed ribbon all over the card, added a bow, and some silver brads to give it bling. I can't really pin-point what it is that I'm not feeling on this card but it's something....
