isn't it cute? the top of the teapot lifts out and there's space to write. There's also a Tetely teabag on the end of the ribbon!
There's a story behind this card. I've been washing all mine and my husband's clothes by hand since we've moved and it's been a real pain. Been doing that for 3 months now! BUT! Yesterday my mother-in-law bought herself a new-used washing machine! and said we can have her old one with for the price of taking her and her daughter out for Chinese! Ofcourse my husband and I said yes!
We are going on Monday to pick it up and I just had to make a card to say thankyou! didn't want to do a simple one, even though simple cards are cute, this was a really special and big thing she's done for us so I wanted to do a card that matched how much we appreciated it! So since she's a typical English lady and loves her tea the jump to make her something tea related wasn't a hard one! What was hard was deciding what to do! finally came up with this idea though and I'm so happy with how it turned out! will write a thankyou on that inside card (the lid lifts up and there's a bit of white cardstock there for a message) and it will be ready to hand to her!
the design changed alot as I worked on it but I'm very glad I changed it so much because I love how it ended up!
hope you guys like it!

It turned out lovely, Y! Perfect for my most recent post, which I thank you very much for visiting. It seems the tea theme has become a part of my life {even though I prefer coffee over tea!}.
