The Tea-rific Birthday Party

There’s nothing like a hot beverage to warm you up on a cold day. As the Guild Hall has an excessive amount of tea, the Lady Commander of Copics and I decided to throw a tea party-birthday party for one of our friends from the village. The Guardian of Glitter used her spell, Sparkle Beam, to decorate the Guild Hall with glittering dust. I think she may have drunk too much elixir though, because the glitter dust was so thick we couldn’t breathe in the room! Coughing and hacking up glitter, we ran from the dining hall to the cold glitter-free air outside. As the guests were set to arrive soon, we needed to clear out the thick haze of glitter that had settled in the room and set up for the tea party. I opened a jar of witchwind to help expedite the process and we quickly finished setting up the tea paraphernalia. 

I started this ‘lil card by stamping my brand new “Gabrielle” by Kraftin’ Kimmie on watercolour paper and colouring her with Distress Markers and my Hydra Brush of +20 wetness. I realized I am not well adept at colouring black hair. I tend to usually colour their hair blonde (probably because mine own hair is blonde), but as I was crafting this for a friend with black hair, I tried my hand at a different hair colour. Ah well. For the background paper I cut up more of my My Little Shoebox Paper! I am on a serious roll using that paper which I’ve been hoarding forever due to its Kawaii-ness! I earned another +320 bravery points for using that paper. I subtly stamped the tea cup from the Lawn Fawn “My Cup of Tea” set, then used that set and an Inky Antics one to create the sentiment. I also embossed the pink strip of paper using my Cuttlebug and earning myself +99 texture exp points and leveling up!

On the inside I subtly stamped the teacup that came with Gabrielle and the spoon from the “My Cup of Tea” set. (It’s not as faint in person as it looks in the picture). The sentiments are from the “Wow! So Many Candles” My Creative Time set and the “Family & Friends” My Pink Stamper set.

I stamped the teacup that came with Gabrielle on the envelope in alternating colours to match the card.

It turned out to be a happy day. The tea party-birthday party turned out tea-rific, allowing us to use up some of the boxes and boxes of tea that are simply taking up space in the store rooms AND I got to use up even MORE of those pesky black buttons from my stash!
