My Friend, Enjoy Life Sip by Sip


Yes I know there is no 'My' yet!!!. I forgot to do it before I took the photo so
you will just have to believe me. I added it after which of course balanced the words
up. Love this stamp. I have only one other and thats a Stamping Bella with two girls
with the coffee mug and felt I needed some cups on their own.
Saw this stamp and fell in love with it so I ordered and I did that old trick of not checking size again, oops. Its a very large stamp so it fills the card. I was a bit surprised when it arrived but once coloured I was wrapped. Its perfect. I copic coloured. Added a bit of gold pen finish over the black ink.


Then added some paper piercing for the table cloth, stamped the sentiment and added
the die cut 'friend' word that I layered just once. I love how it looks. Brand new stamp
used for the first time. Its from  Catherine Scanlon Designs and called Stacked.

WOW! Your tower of teacups and saucers is definitely eye-catching. How much fun you must have had while colouring them...so pretty! Your sentiment, whether with or without the 'my', is charming, as is your gingham tablecloth! A perfect friend card in every way!
