Happy Friday, DT
Annalisa here. Today is a bittersweet day, as it is my last day as a Design Team member for
Time For Tea Designs. I have been part of the T4T team since 2019, and I have absolutely loved being part of Jo's team and looking forward to each new release of her adorable creations.
I am ever so sad that T4T is closing its doors, but I am incredibly grateful for the years I have spent on the team. With every new release of those adorable critters, my heart would jump with joy, and I loved colouring and creating with each and every one of them. I will, of course, continue creating with my favourite critters, but it won’t quite be the same. I will forever miss being part of the T4T Design Team.
For today’s card, I’ve created one of my favourite kinds of cards: a scene card. I used a combination of stamps and stand-alone dies to create this sweet farm-themed birthday card.
To begin, I die-cut watercolour cardstock using the Waves Cover Die. I used Distress Watercolour Pencils to colour the sky and grass areas. For the sky, I used Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, and Tumbled Glass, and for the grass, I used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. I then used liquid glue to adhere the coloured die-cut pieces, along with the stitched frame, to my card base.
Next, I die-cut the adorable images from the Ewe Are Moovellous A4 Printed Cardstock using the coordinating dies. I adhered the images to my card base with liquid glue to create my little farm scene.
For the sentiment, I used the Hey, Hello, Hi Dies to die-cut the word “hey” from patterned paper. To help the letters stand out against the background, I ink-blended their edges with a small blending brush and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. I also added a few white gel pen accents before adhering the letters to the card base with liquid glue.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my Time for Tea Design Team creations over the years as much as I have enjoyed creating them. Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments, likes, and support throughout the years. They have all been very much appreciated and have meant so much to me.
Thank you, Jo, for taking a chance on me and allowing me to be part of the T4T family. I wish Jo and T4TD all the very best as you start this exciting new chapter. You’ll be missed—good luck on your next adventure! ❤️ I will treasure the memories, the friendships, and, of course, all those adorable critters! 💕
