Time For Tea


Time for another great Anything Goes Challenge over at Through the Craft Room Door. This is the card I made with our sponsor, The Paper Shelter image called Tea Time. 


 I used a die by Elizabeth Craft to cut my card frame then added my images by The Paper Shelter coloured with Copics and a Wink of Stella .  After I completed my colouring I added a frame to the sections using some designer paper from my stash.  To complete my card I added a sentiment "Time for Tea".
