Summer tea party!


Hi everyone,

Here is a summery birthday card I made during the period when I wasn't blogging. Having got so out of practice with colouring I have had a phase of making cards with die cuts rather than stamped images, and this is one of them.  The combo of the teapot, bunting die and and summery colours really puts me in mind of a summer tea party in the garden!


This was another die set I bought when I unexpectedly came upon a Crafters' Companion shop whilst out shopping  ... I am absolutely blown away by the intricacy of this die. Sadly as previously mentioned, I no longer have the packaging for any of my dies since I mounted them all into a bespoke case ... very convenient for storage but not so good for describing what I have used!!


Stamp: free with Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine;
Papers: LotV Nitwits Collection - "Perfect Pair";
Tools: Die-Sire Create a Card Easel die (name unknown); La La Lands "Heart Banner" die.
