The last few days our family has been busy cleaning up from Christmas, the gifts are put away and the house was cleaned up and today the tree was taken down since it seemed to be a huge beacon for our 2 year old. We've also been working on cleaning our basement, a few weeks ago my husband build some wonderful large wood storage shelves under the basement steps and now this week were going to be building some walls to enclose this area which will be our storage area. Our basement has been a work in progress for the last two years or more and I'm excited to get a little more of it completed and de-cluttered.
Today I created this thank you card and tea holder for a friend, I used the Karen Lockhart stamp Lavender & Primrose and the new Laura Ashley Designer Paper, both of these items can be found at Susana's Custom Art & Card Design store. I heat set the image after stamping it with Brilliance ink and then colored it with my Copics, then I cut and embossed the image using my Nesties and added some Spica glitter pen.

A Note of Thanks
To create the tea holder I cut a sheet of card stock 9 3/4" x 3 1/4" then scored length wise at 3 1/4" and 6 1/2". The third panel then needs to be cut on a slight angle and folded in to create the pocket for your tea bag. If you plan on using a larger sized tea bag I would cut your card stock 3 1/2" x 9 3/4" to allow for more room.
Supplies: Lavender & Primrose - Karen Lockhart, Thank You Kindly & Say it with Scallops - SU, Laural Ashley designer paper, Rectangle Nestibilities, Spica glitter pen, Ribbon, Pop dots, Baubles, Scallop edge punch, Scallop square punch, Copics - R20, R32, R14, R27, BV02, BV04, YG95, G99, T0. Colors: Night of Navy, Blue Bayou, Whisper White.
