Tea Time

Hello!

 I wanted to make time to play along with the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop this weekend and made the following card:


I am not a great coffee drinker but do love me a cup of tea so I hope this qualifies!  This seemed like a great opportunity to use this fab Poppystamps die which I won recently.  I paper pieced it with Lawn Fawn Lets Polka papers which seemed fresh and springlike against the kraft base.  For a bit of extra interest I cut the Paper Smooches stitches border die on both sides of the kraft panel and added a white embossed sentiment from WPlus9.

 I have really enjoyed seeing all of the fantastic cards on the hop.  Thanks to the lovely Amy and Chaitali for organising it!

 I will also link this card up at Less Is More as tea is definitely one of the things that makes me happy....I have a long list of things that I could put on the list including sunshine, chocolate, butterflies and stamps but may not get time to make cards featuring all of them :)

 I will also add this as a final entry at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes!

 Thanks for stopping by!

    Oh, I really love the pretty papers you chose to stack your tea pots, Sarah! For those who are not 'coffee' drinkers, I think tea is such a great substitute for this challenge...especially for a British gal like yourself :) Beautiful card!

    I love this card, Sarah. It's great that you won the die and can use it for the hop. I love the sentiment with it, too. That's what I've been struggling with to make a card.

    So very pretty, Sarah ... these fabulous stacked tea pots remind me of a traditional English tea shop (Betty's maybe?) ... bet there are some scones hiding behind them somewhere! Anita :)
