Time For Tea....

 Good Afternoon,

Time for tea....I have designed a card so you can invite someone, a friend or relative for a cup of tea and a chat.

Close up:-

I used a tall slim Kraft coloured card 19.5cm x 10.5cm.

Cut a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than the main card so as to leave a smaller border edge. Attach to the card. I used Stamperia Herbarium papers as it had a Tea theme. Make a small pocket in matching papers 9cm x 8cm, finished and add to the bottom of the card. Remember to leave the top open to put the teabag in. Add a border strip 10.5cm x 1.5cm in the Kraft card to cover the bottom of the pocket. Add a border strip in matching papers on top of the Kraft card. Die cut another Zig Zag border strip and attach to the top of the card. Tie a piece of button thread twice round the length of the card and finish with a bow. Add the greetings and the teabag.
