Happy Weekend, fellow artists! Nice choice for the IC this week, Anne! It was a sweet memory of my BFF whose English ancestry mandated my learning all the fine things of tea. I love the pace of high tea and cherish each tearoom we've graced! But what caught my eye was the roses and teacups nightlights.
I've had this adorable Kid's Quote for over a year just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it. While this card might look like a few simple elements, it took me quite awhile to settle on how to portray light. In the end, I chose to use a sunny cardstock. I used the distressed stripes ef from Cuttlebug to minic a wall. The saying was stamped with Versmark and embossed with Sahara Sands (YOU) and Silver Pearl for the rest. I cut it with the rectangle Nestability. The pull chain is from Tim Holtz.
Vintage pom-pom trim completes my card.
I've already tucked this on my dh's pillow. With him between me and the door, I know I am safe as safe can be!!! Thanks for looking and always, your comments energize my work!
