When I sit down to my desk I never know what I am going to make. Today I was playing with three prompts in my mind: romance - pink - heart.
Tea can be a very romantic moment, perhaps early on when you are just getting to know each other. A passing moment, no-committal but getting more intimate when tea is being served, discussion becoming more animated. Fine porcelain cups and a nicely thrown pot underline the ambience.
These thoughts formed my starting point. To get to the finished card I selected suitable gelli printed papers and used those for background and the tea service, stamped some ethereal dog rose for the background and hand lettered the sentiment ("tea for two").
I am entering it into these challenges that inspired me today:
We Love Stamping: Romance (or AG)
Colourful Options: Pink
Dragonfly Dreams Challenge: Hearts
The Flower Challenge: #88 Add a heart

A so well thought and constructed card, love the paper pieced teapot and cups with the added hearts, and the flowers are so sweet. Beautiful palette!
