Good Morning, Saturday again which means a new challenge at Allsorts and this week the lovely Jo would like to see creations on the them of 'Time for Tea'.
Now I will confess that when she came up with the theme I immediately knew I wanted to use as the main image, however I really did think they were drinking tea, but a closer look confirmed they had glasses not tea cups. But as I explained to Jo I don't drink tea, can't even abide the smell of the stuff so my afternoon tipple would be an espresso or something with bubbles, so the bubbles won the day. But I should stress that as it's only afternoon I would dilute the bubbles with some orange juice for the sake of propriety - yeah right !
So, after stamping the focal the image with black archival I masked it to add the paving stones,tree and branches, then coloured with Pan Pastels and a bit of shading with watercolour pencils and finally added some flowers and birds and a ribbon down the spine of my card.

Good Morning Brenda.
What a beautiful serene scene you have made.
Love everything about this one and who wouldn't want to share a little bubbly with a dear friend.
Have a great week-end hun and I hope you are feeling a little better :)
Very cute card!
Wouldn't it be nice to sit in a scenic patio like that...having a drink and relaxing! Now I might go for a sundress and sandals but then again, dressing up is fun too!
Fab card Brenda and I love the addition of the daisies.They are certainly dressed for champers BUT could they be drinking iced tea though!?
Hope you are feeling better than you were. Have a lovely weekend x
It is a gorgeous image Brenda, a lovely card, xxx
Hehe, great excuse for not featureing teacups or a tea pot on you card. Then again, they might be drinking iced tea LOL.
Anyway, it's a lovely scene you've created, Brenda, and I love the lush bow.
Hope you'll have a wonderful weekend!

Hi, Brenda! Beautiful card - it reminds me of a movie from the 1940s or 1950s - very feminine and romantic - wonderful colors with the large red bow making the scene very special! Congratulations to your blog winner! hugs, de
Fabulous card Brenda and just love the scene you have created

Really beautiful card
I rather think your elegant ladies are drinking iced tea. The scenery is a delight & I love your addition of the dimensional daisies beautifully balanced by your bow. We've got the return of winter for the weekend & I've been on branch clearing duty after the windy night.

Fabulous stamping Brenda, a gorgeous scene. Love how you have incorporated the ladies into it - they could be drinking iced tea? lol. Anyways as always thanks for the chance to win some candy - you're already on the side bar thingy. Have a good weekend Karen x
Gorgeous card Brenda. They certainly look very elegant and I love how you've added the flowers at the side.
I'm with you about the tea. Disgusting stuff. I've tried it with and without milk and with and without sugar but I've never liked it whatever way I tried. Long time since I even tried it but you're right, the smell is enough!

Wow Brenda I like this scene, the flowers and the ribbon.

A wonderful card, great image.
Your excuses made me laugh and to be quite honest I have never seen anyone drink tea through a straw but who knows my Mum's Dad, always drank his tea from his saucer!!!!
Fabulous card, beautiful colouring, great background and I am so jealous of the bow.
Hope you have a better week.
