When the new catalogue was released I was very happy to see another tea themed suite because I know how much you love them.  I do too!  A nice cup of tea always makes things better, right?  I went for a touch of a vintage with my card today, a little nod to the timelessness of tea drinking!

This suite comes with dies, Designer Series Paper, ribbons, stickers, copper tins, and Memories and More inserts.  WOWSERS!!  I've only used the stamps today but wait till I get going with the rest of it.  Check the link at the bottom of my post to see all the products and to order your own.

To give your projects a quick vintage feel, use a sponge dauber to lightly apply some Crumb Cake or Sahara Sand ink to the edges of your piece of cardstock.  Easy!

For contrast I stamped the sentiment in black.  The strip of Pool Party was put on with a sponge brayer. I stuck down two pieces of scrap card over the top of my card to create the border lines when sponging.

You'll love what everyone else has done in their CASEing of Mary so hop over to their blogs now.

Happy crafting,

On top of the background text I added a disc of vellum and a flower from the Perennial Birthday stamp set which I coloured in with markers.  Using markers to colour gives a softer stamped effect which is why the Power Pink of the flower looks lighter and more dainty than in the text of the Thank You where I used the marker straight onto the page.   Then a touch of bling with some Gold Metallic Thread.
