Time for tea! ....after making some lovely teapot cards!

Today we are making some lovely teatime inspired cards... they are my personal favourite and absolutely classic!

To make these cards we each have different jobs... one will cut out the shapes, mount and stick while the other sews sews sews! Every single teapot is unique, and we always make sure each one is different.  Today we have mounted them on some gorgeous natural linen, and used vintage and floral materials for the teapots.

We start by adding a freehand machine embroidery foot to our sewing machine, which allows us to create these tactile illustrations. This morning we are stocking up, so every process is done on mass (from cutting out the teacup shapes to cutting all the threads). The last stage is to mount and stick onto cards, ready to be photographed!  

For these cards we added some lovely vintage lace along the bottom (we found it at a car boot sale!).
