Jacqueline's month of associated events concludes this week over at Make My Monday and it's a lovely weekly theme:-
A colour challenge of Strawberries & Cream and Green to celebrate the season and Wimbledon. Here is my card which again is relatively uncluttered for me! I am learning from my teamies over at MMM. I have opted to use just the strawberries & cream colour combo....
Is'nt my cameo lady lovely - she's just the type to have afternoon tea from a china cup!
A colour challenge of Strawberries & Cream and Green to celebrate the season and Wimbledon. Here is my card which again is relatively uncluttered for me! I am learning from my teamies over at MMM. I have opted to use just the strawberries & cream colour combo....
It's A5 in size and in my world Strawberries can vary in shades of red I have used different shades of red. At Wimbledon lots of Strawberries and Cream are eaten - I also think of afternoon tea when I think of Strawberries and Cream so that is the route I have gone down with my vintage teapot and teacup (very old See-D's stamp set) along with a paper doily.
My crumpled flower (Portobello Paper) has been scrunched and layered about eight times before a cream button was added.
Swiss dots was used to emboss the bottom of my card before a large red ribbon bow and cream "knicker" (don't laugh!) elastic added. The sentiment is from a Papermania set of stamps and the flag tag was edged with coloured pencil.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenge:-

a super card for the challenge - strawberries with afternoon tea is just right. I didn't laugh (honest) at your pretty elastic and love the vintage teapot and cup.
mmm I always think of afternoon tea with strawberries and cream too - a very beautiful card - Jacqueline xx
Suzanne, this is absolutely amazing! I've loved it since I saw it on the DT blog--gorgeous use of embellies, images, and perfect layout! :)
Beautiful ribbons, and I love that cameo.
Thanks for joining us at The Ribbon Reel this week!
Beautiful card. Thanks for joining us at The Ribbon Reel this fortnight.
Stunning card Suz. Love the way the teapot and cup really pop from the card and the simplicity in style is so elegant.
Hugs, Fliss xx
PS: Who stole the week?!
Your card is so pretty Suzanne with that charming little tea set and doilies and I think the white space sets them off beautifully! I'm afraid I did laugh at knicker elastic because I have a very immature sense of humour! My daughter says "My Mother, the nine year old school boy!" Vicky x
