As part of my husband’s recent birthday, I had arranged a proper Afternoon Tea for us both to enjoy. There is a wonderful place near us that serves afternoon tea in old refurbished Pullman Train carriages, such a great atmosphere. I made this little card for my husband to open on his birthday to let him know that he had this treat in store and today is the day

Starry Sky card – 4¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 4½” by 3½”

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Sending Smiles stamp set and Sending Dies used to make a pretty shadow box card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I die cut a stitched circle from the front panel of the card.

I placed one of the 3⅞” by 3⅝” panels of Basic White card onto the inside part of the card and lightly drew around it with a pencil.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -The Sending Smiles stamp set and Sending Dies used to make a pretty shadow box card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The larger circle, from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set, was inked up by pressing the Parakeet Party ink pad to one half and the Fresh Freesia pad to the other half. I stamped down onto scrap paper before stamping in the centre of my pencil circle. The pencil line was then erased. The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink in the centre of the inked circle and the panel was then glued in place.
