Tea for two anyone?

A long weekend of cool weather... Monday afternoon card making session.

With the help of some designer series patterned paper and circle punches this came together really quickly. You can make this in any colour combination you like, depending on the papers you have at hand.

Patterned paper: Tea for Two

Circle punches: 1 3/8", 1 3/4"

Scallop circles: 7/8", 1 1/4".

Stamp set: Sweet Essentials.

And Decorative brad for the centre of my flower.

Tea for two and the Summer Solstice

Saying goodbye is always difficult ... The Summer Solstice butterflies have been a favourite of mine.

I have featured the Tea ForTwo patterned paper in strips on my card before running the whole card front through the honeycomb embossing folder. The tea for two papers will also be going at the end of this catalogue on 30 June. But this pattern will be recoloured in wisteria wonder and coastal cabana.

I stamped my butterflies in Early Espresso ink on the patterned Tea for Two paper then cut them out.

Placing them on dimensionals to raise them up above the textured background.

Doily dresses

I found this idea on Pinterest yesterday and couldn't wait to try my own doily dress.
You can buy doilies in a pack of 24 from the seasonal catalogue (Autumn mini) for $4.95 it goes wonderfully well with the tea for two designer papers.
