Tea for Two...

Happy Friday lovely friends

Lovely Lili of the Valley have a new stamp release at the end of the month, so I have a sneaky peek for you today of one of their gorgeous new trios  'Time for Tea'.

This reminds me of one of my absolute favourite sayings -

'a cup of tea never made anything worse'! yay!

I have coloured these beautiful stamps with copics and mounted them on some paper from LOTV's Romance and Roses (retired) collection.

I have use two cloud edge dies to make one largish cloud (and a bit like Eric and Ernie, you can't see the join - showing my age for sure)!

The sentiment is included with the trio of stamps.

and here we are...someone put the kettle on!...
