Happy Monday!
I LOVE TEA! I've got an entire kitchen drawer filled with different teas and drink it every day! I was so disappointed when our trip to the UK was cancelled earlier this year due to the pandemic - a top item on my travel wish list was to go to tea several times while we were in London! However, I think this card is the closest I'm coming to a "High Tea" until the world opens up again!
My bright, happy project uses Graciellie Design's wonderful digi set called "Tea For The Soul" which features a beautiful tea cup with sliced lemons and truly positive inspirational sentiments! I wanted to use a sun ray stencil to highlight the tea cup and so I fussy cut a mask from a separate print out, tacked it in place with blue painter's tape and stenciled over it. This is what it looked like when I finished with the Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink.
I spritzed the panel with shimmer mist and then watercolored the image. I created my own black banner strip in PowerPoint and printed/cut it to size. The image panel was glued to an A2 horizontal white card base and trimmed with the banner and pattern paper strips at the bottom. I added a few yellow iridescent sequins to finish up the card.
