For the Teapot Tuesday challenge this week where Polly has us honouring An Honorary Teapotter.
Arabella has so many interests that it would have fun to make a card with any of the themes Polly suggests, but her title sent me off in this direction.
Stamped the cafe (after carefully cutting out the Cafe in the window) and coloured with pencils. Then I decided to go for a shaker card, so I embossed a piece of white card with the brick wall after cutting the aperture. Added some acetate and then created my shaker, with sequins and gold seed beads.
On the front of the card I added an awning with scoring for bonus points. Top sentiment is from PTI, the bottom one was computer-generated. To frame it, I had just enough of the purple Bazzill left to use an old Top Dog border die to cut 4 strips for scalloped edging.
If you'd like to join the tea-party this week and find out why we are sending cards to Arabella, click on the link at the start of my write-up.

Oh my! Sabrina, I LOVE this card and so will Arabella! It's her own tea shoppe, and I love that it's a shaker card, which will surely delight her -- and make her smile! What an absolutely precious card, sweet friend! I love the scene and your coloring, and the awning is a lovely touch! Beautifully done, my friend! Hugs and love! xoxo
