Next in the series following Jean Hardy's FB Live demos. This one's from 17th June, showcasing another of Sharron Bates' stamp designs for Crafty Individuals.. CI-547, 'Time for Tea'.

Jean made her version using like a mini printers tray-type thing, that used to hold some pretty wooden folk-heart style embellishments, which she used on her make. I don't have any like that, so I used a resin frame instead, which I'd just received in a lovely variety RAK pack from crafty buddy, Rachel Harries. Bless her. :-)

I didn't have a printer's tray-type thing, either, so I made a raised card 'replica', to give the effect, glued to a thick-ish card base, which I cut to resemble the backing Jean made out of greyboard. I used the largest out of a nesting set of label dies as a template for most of it, to get as neat a shape as I could. The background paper is from a Crafty Individuals paper pad, and I used images from the 'A Nice Cup of Tea' glossy image sheet inside the squares, also from CI.

 The 'lace' is a broderie anglaise border die from Card Making Magic, and the silver teapot charms are from eBay. Flowers, sequin, ribbon for hanging and cord bow to match all from stash.
