Birthday Tea!

It's my Mums birthday tomorrow and I'm making a card for her at the eleventh hour.... that's how organised I am this week!!..... so I'm combining the die cuts/punches challenge at Less is More with the tough ColourQ palette just because it is not a combo I would naturally select and my lazy creative brain couldn't think of one itself tonight !.... I'm pleased I persevered with it :0)

I have used the Dienamics 'Always Time For Tea' Die and stamp set for my blue china set and the table cloth is cut using half of a 'wonky square' nestie die, a set I've had for ages and have never really used much but I'm glad they've finally found their place in life.... cutting tablecloth shapes!!!
I've used the canvas impression plate to give the white card some texture and distress inks on the edges of it and the cloth, teapot and cup for extra dimension.

As usual I didn't think about the sentiment until last and had to stamp it across two layers...... a quick touch up with a memento pen and I think it looks okay :0)
I'm still deciding how to add the word 'Mum' to it..... I could do with a stamp in a matching font if you're listening Hero Arts!!

Here is the ColourQ palette for this week and I thought I'd enter my card into A Passion for Papertrey as well, seeing as I've used a PTI impression plate and the teapot has stripes on it which are the required elements this time around :0)

I want to Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my blog candy post, you're all so very encouraging and sweet, not to mention the bestest blog pals ever :0) 

I'll be back Tuesday evening, hopefully with a card and definitely with the winners chosen by random.org :0)

Thanks for looking and see you then x
