Afternoon Tea

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.

  5. Here 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
