We can choose who to send our cards to - mine is going to Betty who was a destination last January, and I have sent her a few cards through the year and been delighted to receive a couple of letters back from her. I'll be writing a letter today and mailing this tomorrow.
For the challenge element I have
H for hello,
P for Panda,
New - papers and dies
E for embossing on the tissue paper.
Having NOT made a bridge card for last week's tickle, I did make one this week . The lanterns are cut from metallic copper and backed with little pieces of yellow card, and the bamboo was cut from a piece of tissue paper watercolour embossed with gold.
If you know of anybody you would like to nominate to be the guest of honour at one of our weekly tea-parties, see the bottom of the first post in the challenge for details of how to contact Jacqueline. We're happy to hold tea-parties (card showers, in other words) for any occasion - celebrations, support, encouragement, sympathy, or even just a shower of happy mail for someone to brighten their day.

Where to start---your lanterns are so real looking, as well as the bamboo ---never know was painted tissue paper. Your panda is so cute as is your bridge for your card---all around so cute.

wowie kazowie....i'm reluctant to try a bridge card, Jean, don't be so silly. It's paper! It will only frustrate you a bit and maybe give you a paper cut. Everything on this card is amazing.
