The Royal Wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markal is tomorrow, and I suspect there have been many afternoon teas around the occasion, so to commemorate that I have this Royal Wedding Afternoon Tea Party Handmade Card! Sometimes it is fun to think about current events and how we can incorporate our papercrafting and stamping into those.
The Just Add Color Specialty Designer Series Paper has some teapots and teacups as images that are ready to be colored in and made into a project! This paper is on the Last-Chance List and even discounted, so it is a great deal! If you don’t already have the Stampin’ Blends Markers you can use other coloring techniques or you can save the paper and order the markers as soon as they are available so you will have them for some therapeutic, fun, relaxing coloring! I think coloring always takes us back to our childhood so maybe that is why they say it is so de-stressing and therapeutic for adults these days!
I picked the fanciest teapot and teacup to color on this patterned paper. My teapot is a mixture of sterling silver and porcelain! Even the background is colored in with the Light Daffodil Delight marker for the wall color. The base is left white for the crisp linen tablecloth. Then I added some Very Vanilla Lace Trim (even though it isn’t white) because I just think there has to be some lace at a tea party! I was able to cut this portion of the designer paper out just right to fit on the card. To make it pop a little bit I edged it with strips of Soft Sky cardstock to match the little bit of Soft Sky marker I used on the coloring. The card base is Powder Pink. I can add a greeting later if I want to or just leave it off. It can be a lovely notecard without a greeting.
Here’s another teapot card I made with the Just Add Color Specialty Designer Paper. On this card, I cut out the teapot and cup and adhered it to the card. Another way to do it!
Perhaps you will have a cup of tea if you will be watching the Royal Wedding very early tomorrow morning! Be sure to shop the Last-Chance List and get a package of this Just Add Color paper, great for a little adult, stress-free coloring as I did on this card for Royal Wedding afternoon tea parties!
