So, why did I needed Eyelets? well, because I wanted to enter the Retro Rubber Challenge, which offers a fun way to dig out our long forgotten stamp sets, tools, embellishments, etc. and play along.
I made a card using a retired SU set called "Morning Cup", which has a bunch of super cute little cups and saucers, a tea pot and a coffee pot, plus some really awesome sentiments. I used Stazon Jet Black Ink on Canson water color paper.
Here is the card I made:
I don't know about you but for me, the combination of purples and green is really beautiful. I used my Perfect Plum SU marker to color this images, the little flowers on the cup have a bit of Tangerine Tango an the tea bag is colored with River Rock. 
Here is a little close up, I don't know if the lighting is ok, I really don't have any special lamps except one that I use when I'm coloring and it's dark outside. I stamped the little tea bag, snipped it and added a bit of thread then, pop it up with SU dimensionals. 
Can you see this little hearts? well, they are punched out with a super old, totally retired SU corner punch. The outline is pretty but I love this little hearts that are leftover after you punch your corners. I just can't throw them out, they are perfect in every way, what do you think?
Anyway my friends, I hope you like this card, I hope I'm able to link it up to the challenge, it's a bit difficult for this "old" grammy to understand all of this technical stuff.
Ok, I hope you have a wonderful week, till next time, many hugs.
Maria.

What a sweet card! Love that cute teapot pouring hearts into the cup! The eyelets fit so well with the scalloped frame, I'm glad you found them! I also love the color combo!
Maria, this card is absolutely adorable! I, too, have this set and have not brought it back out in such a long time!! Love your colors and use of bitty hearts. Popping up the teabag with thread is one of my favorite details. Now that you have linked up with RRBC once, I hope to see you back every challenge!! Thanks for playing with us!
Beautiful, Maria! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent. Love the eyelets.
Maria I am so proud of you for figuring out how to link up your card. And what a beautiful card it is!!! I love all of the detail from the water coloring to the hearts being poured out to the thread. So glad you could play along with us at RRBC08! Keep on playing!
Maria, I agree with everyone's comments. Your card is fitting because of the frigid temps here in Ohio. Sitting down with a nice hot cup of tea sounds delightful. Your coloring is impeccable as always. I especially like the little hearts and tea bag.
Maria, this card is so pretty. I love the little hearts pouring out of that teapot. Great stamp set. Beautiful water coloring too! Very nice!
Such a sweet little cup of tea! The little pouring hearts are so cute!
I love your card Maria! Purple and green is one of my favorite color combinations. My favorite part is the little hearts coming out of the teapot! Kudos to you on your training - you should be so proud!
