If you ask my dear SIL, he'd tell you that Summer Tea Time was actually Summer "Tee" Time on the golf course! But when I think of Tea Time in the summer, I remember delightful afternoon teas in the garden when I was an exchange student at Cambridge University in England. I have delightful memories of that whole experience, despite the long hours of classes and studies.
I was inspired by the sketch at The Outlawz
adjusted for a square card.
The images (by Sandi Huggett) were printed individually, then colored with ProMarkers. I fussy cut the teacup, and used a scalloped circle die from Spellbinders to cut the teapot. The background dp was a leftover of scrapbooking paper and I love the print. It has such a delightful vintage feel to it which seemed to work well with the 'Old World' tea set.
I found another scrap in the bin, this one glittered CS just the perfect size for a tag shape. I adhered it behind the images, and added a large, white, grosgrain bow. I added a metallic brad to each of the other three corners and called it finished. :-D
