One of my favourite things......

........is a lovely cuppa tea!
Its well known among my family and friends that this is my favourite tipple - the only time I refuse is, if I am ill!

This weeks challenge on SSC is to make something other than a card, and I suddenly remembered I had bought several canvas's and easels the last time I was at the Range - I was gonna do allsorts of inky things with them and had not got round to it yet!

So I combined the two thoughts!

My son saw my creation earlier and said " put it up every time you want a cuppa Mum and I'll get you one!"  (sits down in shock).

Anyhow I think it will go to live in the kitchen - too cute not to!

Ingredients:
House Mouse, Feeling Rosy stamp
Image and canvas covered in  Distress Inks
Distressed the rim with Distress Powder (Faded Jeans)
Flower, handmade - as is the paper (covered roughly in Distress ink and then over stamped with flourishes) I punched them out of!
McGill flower punch  Floriano Flower
KurePunch Medium - Heart Petal Flower
Pearl from Kanban.







Well, back to the work thing tomorrow!
Work hard everyone!!!!! LOL
