Tea-riffic

Morning, My card for today is one I made with Sara's Signature Collection. Having been extremely careful when using the wonderful papers, I had collected enough to make this card, without cutting into any more. None of the pieces could have been used for much so to get this card was a real bonus.

For this card you will need:
Toppling Tea Cups Die
Tea-riffic Sentiments Die
Traditional Jute Twine
Vintage Tea Party 6x6 Paper Pad
Sheena Stamping Card
Mint Centura Pearl (Lights Collection)
Centura Pearl Ivory

Step 1: Secure your selection of papers on to card with Tacky glue, when dry cut out a variety of different sized cups.

Step 2: Take your selected card and arrange your cups carefully across the card, it's harder than you think to get a good design that's pleasing to the eye. Any that are over the card can be trimmed when dry.

Step 3: Wrap jute 4 or 5 times around the card and secure at the back.Tie a knot around to gather the jute where you will place the complimentary button. Add your sentiment cut from Mirri Card.

Step 4: Back your card onto mint Centura Pearl, leaving a narrow border and layer onto your base card, made from Ivory Centura Pearl.

Thank you for taking the time to visit today, I do hope you have enjoyed the tutorial and the finished card. I do hope you will pop by again very soon. 

Winter has hit here with a vengeance, I thought we were out of the woods, but temperatures have dropped to -21 this morning, snow on the loo seat and on the toilet roll. The fire is roaring but I am sat here freezing. The power is still on, I hope it stays that way, they are forecasting up to a meter today and more over the next 2 days. Hope to be back tomorrow as long as the power stays on. Take care and Happy Crafting.xx
