Mac's friend, Vera, is 103 and she could use a bit of cheer. That's the Tea Potter's specialty so we are throwing her a Tea Party featuring Gold. And, at 103, I think she deserves the Royal Treatment so I pulled out the purple inks as well.
The card is straightforward. AI bg using COPIC reinkers. Embossed the floral stamp onto velum in gold. Added the sentiment and die cut butterflies. Done.
I can't get a pic that shows the true colors of my cards (although this one is pretty close); but, man can my camera magnify every little imperfection on my cards. Yep, the velum did bubble a bit and there's no save for this one. I tried to rub and burnish and rub and burnish, it just wouldn't unbubble. Luckily, it doesn't show up nearly as much IRL. But still -- UGH!
I know Vera's home will be transformed into a sea of beauty and joy with all your beautiful cards and I hope each time she views these cards that's what she feels. And, I hope you all are feeling "bubbly" today, but in a good way. TFL

This card is drop dead gorgeous, Debbie. So rich looking with the purples and touches of turquoise. The gold embossed vellum looks awesome with the addition of those butterflies. This will thrill Vera!

Gorgeous AI background, Debbie! Love the gold-embossed floral image on the vellum, and the greeting is great!

Fantastic! Your designs are awesome. The gold EP on vellum is amazing. The design and the AI background are stunning. Gold butterflies and a gold trim headline are an excellent finish...
