What a hot day it was today and tomorrow is going to be even hotter!
On Tuesday I was invited, with a few friends, to an Afternoon Tea by a wonderful 86 year old friend. She had baked so much delicious food, I didn't need to eat for the rest of the day! I was thinking of a design for a Thank You card, when a prize of two stamp sets arrived which I had recently won in the Snippets Playground. It was absolutely perfect.
The image is a stamp from a Crafter's Companion 'You're So Sweet' set and coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment is from the Crafter's Companion 'My Cup of Tea'. I used Lisa Horton's 'Scalloped Layered Rectangle' dies for the layers. Three sequins finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A second card which is a great idea for a masculine money/gift card holder. I watched Gail Mands video HERE and the instructions are very easy to follow.
Delightful Afternoon Tea,Thank You card Liz,sounds as though you had a wonderful time, the gift/money card holder a brilliant design
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous makes Liz, and these stamps you won were ideal for the thank you card after your tea party, and you have coloured the teapot, mugs and delicious cake perfectly..it really does look very edible, and the jeans with the pocket for money or a gift voucher is such a brilliant idea and executed so beautifully by you. x
ReplyDeleteSorry I realised that I totally forgot to say a big thank you for coming to join us again over at the NBUS Challenge Liz. x
DeleteA lucky win and how great that the prize arrived in time to make this very apt and lovely card. The pocket gift holder is brilliant as well. Stay cool if you can
ReplyDeleteYour afternoon tea sounds delightful and this card is so pretty. I just love the pale blue you used it makes for such a brilliant card design. Great wallet too. Thanks for taking part at Allsorts challenge.
ReplyDeleteHere it is the same with the weather! So trying to be calm.... Your first card is such a sunny one in colours; think this is a great way to spent some time outside (in the shade). Your 2nd card is a perfect masculine card; love the real jeans paper! Hugs, Gerrina
