Today is a day of remembrance , I made this card for Mary but was thinking about this horrible scene we saw that day on TV here in France, I added some red flowers on the teapot for remembrance.
I stamped the teapot cups and sentiment the macaron is one stamp so stamped 4, first on the design then once more to give dimension, cut them out colored them in chocolate and toffee flavor colors, I used wax crayons to sponge the bg, alcohol markers to color the macarons and glitter gel pens to color the flowers on the teapot and the fruit on the cups, Finally I added a bow made from lace to make it more elegant for Mary, I hope she'll like it.

What a pretty and dainty teaparty you have set out, Anita. And with macarons...yum. I have utterly and totally failed in my attempts to make them. Luckily there is a Laduree shop in Dublin for occasional treats! I love the little paper flowers, and the lace looks great.

Great card, Anita! I love how the sponging creates a soft and subtle background for the cute little teapot and stack of cups. Silly me - being from Lancaster PA I thought the cookies were whoopie pies! I've never eaten a macaroon but they sure look tasty!
