Thanks A Bunch!

 Hello Tea Timers!

Michelle from the Design Team here and today I am sharing the most sunshine filled thank you card featuring the sweetest little bunny surrounded by the most glorious sea of sunflowers! This one is bright, cheerful and absolutely blooming beautiful, and it feels like the most perfect note to end on!

Supplies used:

Love Is In The Air

Hey There Critters

I started with a soft blue sky blended with the lightest wisps of clouds at the top, transitioning down into the most gorgeous fresh green grass layers below. The whole background has such a warm and cheerful vibe to it and sets the scene perfectly for all those wonderful sunflowers!

And the sunflowers! There are so many of them and every single one is just gorgeous! Big bold blooms in the most beautiful golden yellows with rich warm brown centres completely surround the scene, spilling out beyond the card panel and framing everything in the most spectacular way. The whole card just radiates sunshine and happiness!

Nestled right in the centre of all that floral abundance is the most adorable little white bunny sitting cosily in a woven basket, peering out with the rosiest cheeks and the sweetest expression imaginable. Two little glittery bees buzz around amongst the sunflowers, adding the most charming finishing touch to the whole garden scene!

The whole panel sits beautifully against a warm orange gingham background which ties in perfectly with all those sunny tones and gives the card such a warm and inviting feel all the way to the edges. To finish everything off, a gorgeous large "thanks" sentiment in the most perfect orange sits across the bottom of the card, outlined and bold and absolutely glowing. It is the ideal finishing touch to such a bright and joyful design!

This is my final blog post here at Time For Tea Designs, and what a wonderful journey it has been. I have so loved sharing every make with you all. I hope these cards have brought you as much joy to look at as they have brought me to create. Thank you for every visit and every bit of support along the way. It has truly been the most wonderful experience!

Sending you all the biggest bunch of sunflower wishes!

Michelle

A Birthday Farewell

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! 💕
