I've now thrown two tea party bridal showers with the help of some wonderful family members.  But the one thing I know I can do all on my own is creating a handmade card for the bride-to-be.  



My bonus sister (so much more pleasant and fun to say than step-sister!) is a fun loving, yet sophisticated and intelligent young woman.  Carmella requested a garden tea party themed bridal shower and so I of course had to make a card that matched!



I started with a kraft card and a teal background.  I then used my Silhouette sketch pen in a glittery pink to write out "tea for two" and cut it out as a label.  I also cut out the cake stand, macarons, teacups (with paper that matched her banner), saucers and tea bag using my Silhouette.  




I inked all the shapes with matching Tim Holtz distress ink to give the cuts dimension.  The tea bag is 3 dimensional and I cut it out from vellum.  I sealed the sides then added some flora soft, threaded some embroidery floss through the top and sealed it.  I tied the end of the floss and used a stapler to attach the tag for a realistic effect.  




I used pop dots to attach the cups and the dark pink macaron to the card to give it dimension and added a pink Doodlebug pearl to each side of the label.  




And there you have it!  The perfect card for a bride-to-be who loves tea parties!
