The Four Seasons Challenge is celebrating summer right now and there is nothing I like better in the summer than having tea in the garden with friends. And the Paper Players challenge is asking for Food and / or Beverages. So I made this card that has both food and beverage, and is perfect for summer tea in the garden.
I've had this stamp for years and have no idea who made it. I coloured it with coloured pencils, trimmed it with a stitched rectangle die, and bordered with some dp that's been in my stash for as long as I've had the old stamp - good to revisit some old supplies!
I would love to be sitting down to tea and cake right now! I can do the tea but I don't have any cake on hand!
