Tea Party


Hi Everyone, thank you for all your lovely comments last week for my Daffodil tutorial they were all very much appreciated. When I was a little girl I loved having Tea Parties with my pet cat - Lucky, who would sit quite happily watching me. This inspired me to make this card for my Cheery Lynn Designs DT post this week which I am sharing with you all today.


Notice how I have mounted my corner die cuts behind my card layer to give a different look and softened the edges of my paper with Ink for a Vintage look.


My layers now together mounted onto my card which measures roughly 6.5 x 5.


My centre image was stamped in Black Archival ink and heat embossed with clear ink. I added Distress ink to age and shade my paper, placing onto the Alpine Flourish Doily with a little Silicone Glue to raise my topper slightly.


My cute little cats were also placed on with Silicone Glue. Aren't they adorable !

Thanks for stopping by today to see my post and I will see you all next week.
