afternoon tea



These freebie stamps have been laid about on my table for some time now, not really "my cup of tea" I thought, however yesterday I was twiddling my thumbs not knowing what to do and started to play about with them, the little tea cup die came with the set and that's what I first started playing about with. The background paper is also from some free papers from another magazine. I think it might be the first time I have used the lovely Tim Holtz doily die, must remember to use it more often. i'm entering this into these challenges

Addicted to stamps - Anything goes

I also made this little 3x3 card from bits on my desk, image already stamped and coloured and a piece of wax resist for the background and a scrap of paper lace.  The pile of bits and pieces never seems to go down, probably because every time I make something there always seems to be something left over that gets added to the pile!
