A lovely cup of tea

I came across some Kanban toppers that I thought would look nice on a DL card - when I got out my stock of Dls I found a trifold card with a pearly iridescent finish, so I decided to use two of the 'cup of tea' toppers, with some ribbon behind them (one of my newest purchases from Hobbycraft) I lined two inside panels with a piece of green butterfly paper from the DCWV Mariposa stack.

The sentiment on the outside of the card reads:

When your day is topsy turvey and as chaotic as can be
There's nothing quite as tranquil as a lovely cup of tea.


The one on the flap underneath says:

I wish we could sit down together and have a cup of tea,
but since we can't, when you have this one I hope you'll think of me.

On this photo of the inside opened out the iridescent finish of the card blank is more obvious:

  5. I like this card, probably because I am an avid tea-drinker. (I have to buy mine on-line but I haven't managed to teach my Spanish friends to make a decent cup yet. It's so much more refreshing than all the coffee they drink). It is a very pretty topper. I have used a similar verse in a cup and a teapot shaped card with a tea-bag attached inside.
