This week's MMTPT challenge involves all things English. I went with tea or at least a teacup. This week our cards at going to Pat who needs some encouragement.
I hope my card cheers her a bit, and I am sending the tag as well.
My tag was done for the Squigglefly challenge this week (SFC1413 - I give thee a recipe). The challenge requires patterned paper, at least 2 brads, and a tag). Here is the link to the challenge:

Oh my gosh, this is so cute. Pat will be thrilled, I'm sure. Your coloring is incredible, I love the layout of the card and tag and the dp's you have chosen are perfect. The floral arrangement really sets everything off.

You probably don't know it but your card follows all the challenge criteria. This is a scene from the London zoo. Who knows, they have teacup poodles so why not teacup elephants.

What a lovely card! You managed to take a funny image and turn it into a very pretty English Rose garden type card! So nice of you to also send Pat the tag. A FUN bookmark for sure!

This made me giggle - I love the sentiment on the card combined with the hilarious image. What a gorgeous little posy of flowers, too - this is going to be a double treat for Pat.
