I have a New Year Giveaway on my blog HERE. Please remember to say in your comment on the original post if you would like to be included in the draw for the prize.
I made this card for a friend who was retiring from teaching. As she pointed out to me, she was too young to be retired 😉, so I thought this was a suitable sentiment for her. She has a little business hiring out vintage crockery for occasions such as afternoon tea, so I've used this as a theme for my card.

I started with a pastel yellow card blank and left just a thin border showing. The teapot and cup are dies from the First Edition 'Tea Party' set and I've inset the details on them. I used a cupcake embossing folder from the Cuttlebug 'Once Upon a Princess' set of folders to make a panel down the side. The sentiment is computer generated.
I am joining in the following challenges:
It's a sweet card with all those pastel colours and the teapot and cut look so beautiful with the inset details! Love the cupcake embossed panel, too!
ReplyDeleteI would like a retirement too, but I have to wait some years... :(
