So, today I have not just one card, but two! I just couldn't choose which to post , so in the end I thought I would post both of them!
Here is the sketch:
And here is my take on the sketch :-
The first is a card using Afternoon Tea and Afternoon Tea Sentiments. I have used some paper from a stack by DCWV Nana's Nursery (Boy), and the green card is from a Martha Stewart pack I got when I was in Florida last year - yes I went mad in Michaels!
I have repeatedly stamped the little cup in a green ink by Whispers, and the sentiments are stamped in London Fog (Memento Ink). The lovely large pearl button was a gift from a friend, and the floral blue button was in a mixed pack from my local craft shop Flutterby Crafts. The Rhinestones are by Kaisercraft.
My next card is made using the same sets, but I have used some lovely Nook and Pantry paper by Basic Grey. The spoons, cups and sentiment are all stamped in London Fog, and the sentiment banner is again using Martha Stewart card. The blue pearls I added on a whim, as I felt it looked a bit empty in the middle. I have added some stickles to the cupcake (cut from a design in the Nook and Pantry stack) and the tea in the cups, cos I love a bit of bling!
Well that's it from me, I'm off to look at everyone else's inspiring takes.
Thanks for looking and have a great day
Pauline

WOW, two great cards! I love the colour of the first one and how you created the BG with the cups! The half perls in the second card make it look very elegant!
I agree 2 great cards Love the soft pretty look of both! I was led to believe you were in the middle of a heatwave!!!! too late now I'm packed and about to leave!!!!!!!Might just have to visit M & S ............
Oh Pauline, these are both fantastic. Love the addition of the little cake to your teacup project. The background you made of the teacups on your other project is the perfect muted background to compliment your beautiful papers. Well done!
Both of these are so sweet! I love how you used the tea cup for your background - just genius! Thanks for playing with us in the WMS sketch challenge!!

Oh oh I LOVE these - don't those teaspoons make a fabulous background! And so do the cup outlines - I'm going keep these in my inspiration file.
