Thank you for visiting, and I trust you are feeling most welcome.
Despite the title, I have not been taking tea with the queen.
This is a new release from McMahon Vintage Digital entitled Royal Gathering.
I have discovered over the past months that I love these designs. I have coloured the image with chalks, and then sponged the edges with distress ink before mounting it on the beautiful paper from the Prima Romantique 6x6 stack.
I chose this paper as it had the wee picture of the two horses in the corner, which so beautifully complemented the main image. Again the edges were sponged, and then mounted on the Kraft base, which I simply ran the edges over the same ink pad.
The card was finished with a bow made from hand dyed seam binding, (a RAK from Lovely Linda) and some chino Kaiser half pearls.

I really like the bow - the texture/colour all complement the card graphic so well (as do the lovely little horses in the corner, what a great find!).
