Friendship Afternoon Tea Card

Hi everyone, and welcome to my latest design team make for Visible Image. The theme for our makes this week is "friendship".

My favourite beverage is tea and the blacker the better. There is nothing quite like catching up with my friends over a cuppa and indulging in a slice of cake with it, is even better. I decided make a card using the Afternoon tea set with the Splash stencil. This stamp set is full of fun tea and cake themed images, there is even a fork and a tea bag. The sentiments it contains are delightful too.

Tutorial

enter image description here

I cut a piece of smooth white card to a 5 1/4" square and blended salvaged patina, squeezed lemonade and worn lipstick distress inks onto it. Then I added some drips of water, blotted and dried the background with a heat gun (or you can leave it to air dry).

Using the Splash stencil I blended the same 3 inks through the stencil onto the background.

This is how it looked after adding the extra inks.

Once dry I stamped my design, for placement on the background. I used Versafine clair nocturne ink and clear heat embossed everything.

I stamped the teapot and cup again onto red card and the knife onto silver and cut them out.

The cake was stamped twice onto inky mop up card and cut out.

I cut out the fork too and added some white pen detailing to the cup, teapot and plate I cut out just the cake of the top image and stuck it over the "blue" cake. I added some glitter pen to create the "jam" and "cream".

I then adhered these images over those on the background.

I stamped the sentiments onto white card, cut around them.

And stuck them in place.

I also added some stickles glitter glue to the cake icing for some extra sparkle.

Here it is finished;

The above friendship card, for me, is worth the extra decoupage detailing, but I also made this non decoupage version below which I coloured with watercolour pencils. So if you would like to make a quicker version you can. Simply stamp the background with the design I have shared and colour using your favourite media.

This is fun card to send to a friend who you might not have seen for a while and need to catch up with...over a cuppa! And of course a slice of cake would make that date extra special.
