Time for a cuppa...

Good morning everyone.  Looks like I'm getting a young visitor for the weekend.  One of my granddaughters.  I wonder what mischief we can get up to!  Whatever we do, it won't be outside in the heat...we're in a heat alert again and the humidity is awful!


When she was younger we would have a tea party, with fancy cups and saucers and her choice of tea pot from my collection.  This image from the Paper Shelter reminds me of those days.

I've coloured the image with markers, cutting it out and matting with Spellbinder dies.  The backing is embossed using a Spellbinder embossing folder and distress inks.  I've added a bit of sparkle to the butterfly and a fancy bow for embellishment.  No sentiment this time....as this card could be used for a number of different occasions.

So take it easy folks...stay hydrated.  A cup of tea may be just the ticket!
