Lovin' Tea Shoppe

I am so enjoying playing with this gorgeous set of stamps, and for those who have visited my home, you probably know how I treasure my grandmother's fine English china tea cups. She was a lady of very refined taste, and regularly held bridge (card game) afternoons where she served glorious homemade cream sponges and tea in these same cups. When I was a child staying in school holidays, I was allowed to enjoy afternoon tea too.

I still enjoy to brew a pot of tea, but the fine china is not very practical for the dishwasher!!!

For this card, I stamped with versamark onto the Attic Boutique patterned paper and embossed with white embossing powder. Sponging with Pool Party ink over the embossing shows off the lovely delicate pattern on this large cup and taking my cue from the Attic Boutique papers I used Soft Suede as the contrast. I have played along with Freshly Made Sketches this week, you can play too!

I hope my card inspires your creativity too, let me know!
