Tea Party – Thank You

Hi!  I have a bit more time today, so I am playing with a few more challenges.

Over at Retro Rubber (#232), the site that celebrates all older and most loved stamp sets has a nice Sketch to use.

I married this up with the Color Hues (#88) pairing and the As You See It (#325) Themed Speed Challenge.  The idea is to make a card in 10 minutes or less.  How do you think I did?

I gathered all my supplies: Stamp Set, Ink Pad, Papers, Tools (Paper Trimmer, Cut & Emboss Machine, Embossing Folder, Die, Punch and Scissors) along with some Embellishments and had them close at hand.  Then I set the timer…

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Lemon Lolly cardstock cut, scored and folded and set aside.
• Background Panel: (4″ x 5¼”) Azure Afternoon cardstock cut and dry-embossed with the retired Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and set aside.
• Stamping: (4¼” x 5½”) Lemon Lolly cardstock.
  • The Thank You Tag, Tea Pot with Flowers and the Doily Trim images from the retired Tea Party stamp set (circa 2013) were all stamped with Azure Afternoon ink.
  • The Tag was punched out with the retired Large Tag Punch.
  • The Tea Pot with Flowers was die-cut with the (2⅜” x 2⅜”) Square Stitched die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
  • The Doily Trim was fussy-cut with Paper Snips.
• All elements were then adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The Tag and the Doily Trim were popped up with Dimensionals.
• A Bow was tied with the Lemon Lolly colored Baker’s Twine and affixed with a Mini Glue Dot and several retired Pearl Basic Jewels were added for a little old-fashioned bling.

And the Timer was stopped!  Elapsed time = 5 minutes and 14 seconds with 4:46 left…

A pretty Thank You card, especially for someone that likes Tea, like me.

Thanks for spending some more of your time with me today.  Cheers,  Jolanda!
