Boy, this card took me 3 hours!! Why, I don't know, but a lot of faffing went into this one, and I'm still not over happy with it! I was going to use a few of the cup images, then the little teapot images, then I settled on the flourishes! As Precious Little would say 'We got no cups!' Love that programme hope they make another series, but I digress!!
However, I have to get this posted as we are going away this afternoon to the New Forest, to stay with my in-laws and won't be back til Tuesday which probably means I won't get time to craft til the end of the week! Ho Hum.
Well, here are the inspiration pics:
And here's my take:
I have used Waltzingmouse Stamps Afternoon Tea, I had them out for my card yesterday, and realised I hadn't used them for a while.
The background is stamped in Distress ink Peeled Paint using two of the little label stamps from Afternoon Tea, onto some patterned paper from Trimcraft called Love letters - this paper stack is the business, I just love them!
I then stamped the main label in Versamagic Sahara Sand onto white cardstock, and layered it up onto a frame stamped with Waltzingmouse Stamps Very Vintage Labels 4. stamped in Peeled Paint.
The flourishes are from Very Vintage Labels 2 stamped in Peeled Paint and hand cut.
Finally added some gems, and distressed around all the edges with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain and mounted onto kraft card. I now have very inky fingers lol!
I've only just noticed the frame shape matches the shape of the bookcase frame in the PDCC pic, I love it when that happens lol!
Have a great Weekend and thanks for stopping by,
Pauline xx
