Tea Cup Wishes

Hello dear blog friends,

Hope you are all well and enjoy watching the Olympic games on TV as much as I do. I put an hour or two aside to make this card yesterday which I like to share with you. The challenge at the Shabby Tea Room is the inspiration behind this card. I used one of my neglected Spellbinders dies, Nested Tea Cups, to create pockets for the sentiments. I love the way it turned out and I think in future I will definitely use this technique again.
