This card is for a tea drinking friend who has recently retired. My inspiration is from the IC453 challenge that took us to a site featuring vintage items. An awful lot of them looked very familiar - must mean I'm pretty vintage myself! Here is my inspiration https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1853...home_active_17
The image was stamped in gold and coloured with markers.

Oh this is lovely, Ann. You don't know how much I think like you - lol. I almost chose one of the cups and saucers for my inspired piece too. Your coloring is beautiful.
