Royal Tea Bridal Shower Blog Hop - Day 2

Her Royal Highness, Card Monkey, has graced us with this amazing Royal Tea Bridal Shower Blog Hop. If you have come from Jen's Blog then you are on the right track. If you would like to start at the beginning, you can go back to Ellen's blog. We have a fantastic group of bloggers participating so you don't want to miss it. This is a momentous occasion and brings me back to my childhood. Watching Charles and Diana marry stayed with me to my own wedding. Before we get on with my project I want to give you the lineup just in case you find yourself on the other side of the pond as they say:

Once the wedding is over and William and Kate have returned from their honeymoon, they are going to have a daunting task of sending thank you's. That is why I chose to make a thank you card for the second day of our hop. Here we go....

As you can see, the scrunched ribbon is on this one too! All supplies used here are from Stampin' Up. The technique that was used is faux linen. I think I am going to do a video on this one. The colors are difficult to judge in the photo though. Thanks for joining us to celebrate the wedding of the century and best wishes to the happy couple.

We cannot have a bridal shower without presents! I know I will be offering one for my faithful followers. You will have the chance to win a gift card from AC Moore or Michaels. I do not believe that they are international so unfortunately this will have to be open to US residents. There are only two criteria to win:

1. Be a follower of our blog
2. Leave a comment under this post

The winner will be picked by Random.org on Tues, May 3rd. 

Until next time.....

I had such an amazing time creating a project for this hop that I actually made 2! Who doesn't like a party and I love tea. So I made sure I combined both for these for my projects. 

The teapot is a cut file for my Pazzles machine. I shadowed it with black to help it stand out. The stamp is from Stampin Up as are the pearls and ribbon. The ribbon was actually folded using double sided sticky tape. Doesn't this make you feel like you could have tea with the Queen Mother. Now where's my crumpets? ;)

This next project is elegant enough to give to William and Kate. It actually was made in mind for a co-worker that is getting married this year. The sentiment and flourish were both cut on the Pazzles and the hearts were cut and embossed with my Sizzix die and my Cuttlebug. The silver hearts were heat embossed with Stampin Up embossing powder and I used my wheel for the first time. The bling on the flourish is more glitter glass. The card base is one of the Creative Memories card I bought in the pack.
