Afternoon Tea Theme cards

 2 Cards to share today

These cards are for no special occasion, 

as I think these are the nicest cards to receive.

When you least expect one, its more special. 

Plain printed background

With a narrow layered band across the lower half.

With a pretty matted and layered topper

With small doily to the right hand side,

I made these little tea bag holders to hold a single pack of tea.

a a tiny die-cut teapot and cup and saucer at side of tea packet.

It wrote this quote on the front

No other reason, as far as I know

For sending this card,

but to say

Hello.

I found this lovely poem for inside

When the World is all at odds

And the mind is all at sea

Then cease the useless tedium

And brew a cup of tea

There is magic in its fragrance

There is solace in its taste

And the laden moment vanish

Somehow into space

And the World becomes a lovely thing

There’s beauty as you’ll see

All because you briefly stopped

To drink a cup of tea.

By William Gladstone

 

This card has the same quote, but a different poem.

Images from delightful doodle.

18cm Sq printed background, on 19cm sq mint green background.

Teapot and cup and saucer, as overlayer on the background, 

 then I added some decoupage layers to the teacup.

and a selection of cakes to the bottom.

A Loving Recipe

For a Perfect Cup of Tea
1 Willing friend who loves to sit and share
1 Grateful heart to have a friend that cares
1 Beautiful garden to show us God is near
Many wonderful memories

of times shared throughout the years
Lots of smiles and laughter

to brighten up our days
Many prayers that we prayed

for each other along the way
I’m so blessed to have a friend like you

to share in everything I do.

For one special friend sharing a special cup of tea

truly makes this a perfect recipe.
