I recently won a challenge where the prize was a gift voucher to spend in Mo Manning's store... (as if I needed any more encouragement to get any more of Mo's stamps.........) anyway after much deliberation I spent the voucher (and a bit more besides) and this cute image dropped into my shopping cart....
It's called 'Catching Up' and don't you just remember giving your toys tea? I love the way the dolly, bunny and Ted are all positioned so they can pay the utmost attention!
Coloured it with pastel chalks and promarkers and distressed and stitched it onto green cardstock. The backing paper is by K and Co and again distressed and stitched onto the same green card.
I added a lacy paper doily and cut out some flourishes with a Marianne die. The flowers are from my stash and I popped a couple of co-ordinating pins above the flowers.
The spotty satin ribbon I have had for ever - there wasn't a lot of it but I managed (just) to get enough to make the oversized bow, securing it with a pearl buckle.
The quote was printed on the pc and the inside is co-ordinated to match with a space left for a greeting.

Oh yes. Many tea parties were had and enjoyed. Rather more toys always turned up for tea though. Dandelions in the cups and leaves for sandwiches.
Your card is sweet. Never thought of using chalks and promarkers on the same card. Silly me as they work so well together. Hugs Mrs A.
Hi Viv, All I can say is: WOW!! Your card is a masterpiece. I just can't believe all the beautiful details that you have included. The image is precious and brings back fond memories. Love the combo of chalk and promarkers. The stitching, bows, DP...everything is just stunning. Thanks for joining us at Lexi's Creations for our 'ribbons and lace' challenge. Hope to see you again in two weeks:)
This is so pretty and delicate! I love the pastel shades, and the embellishments you've used are perfect with this sweet image. I love the sentiment, too! Glad you shared it with us in Mo's Challenge.
