Mornin' y'all. I got a letter from a friend last week and she's having a really tough time right now (to say the least), and since I can't fly to where she is and give her a hug, I decided to send her some tea and chocolate. And a card.
I love a nice cuppa tea when I'm not feeling quite the thing (and lots of times when I feel just fine, thankyouverymuch) which is why I decided to send my friend some tea. And a fancy new teacup too. I pulled out a lot of retired stuff for this one : )
My starting point was the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
I was looking for some different patterned paper so I could make this card to fit in another challenge too, but I ran across the Tea & Crumpets paper from a looooong time ago and I took a left turn to use it. I need to get the package all ready to go and mail it off; I hope it makes my friend smile even if I can't do anything to fix her problems.
Cheers, y'all!

ReplyDeleteChristy, I had to laugh when I saw this card - I pulled out just this combo last week for a Retro Rubber card! So funny. This is sure to cheer your friend up - best wishes to her, and to you, for being such a great friend with this beautiful card! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely lovely! Care packages go a long way in cheering people up, so that's a perfect way to help.
