Rustic Country Cards

I had some spare time to put together some lovely little fabric bits and made these cards...

A delightful tiny patchwork quilt, with a small amount of padding...
and a country red barn with a lot more padding!

I also did a couple of tiny Union Jack cards ~

These pieces have no padding but are mounted on the same rustic fabric surround.

Afternoon tea at my house ♥

With my husband and my son both celebrating their birthday last Friday I'm afraid I didn't get any spare time to do any crafting.  I'll top up my 'Card a Week' project this week (hopefully).
We did have a lovely afternoon tea on Sunday...
..cupcakes and  coffee cake..

..lemon drizzle loaf cake..



 ..rustic scones, berries and cherries jam and clotted cream..
..and a fabulous chocolate fudge cake..

..and my lovely vintage china teacups, saucers and plates.

Tussie Mussie

Isn't that just a great name for something fussy?  I'm told by my knowledgeable sister (Tarty Frog) that tussie mussie is actually a posy of flowers but these decorative cones have taken on the name.
Mine is a relatively small cone, covered with some vintage print paper...


 
with a large lace bow...

 
dried rose buds and lilac paper flowers...


and a band of crystal leaf edging.

Oops!

I missed my 'Card a Week' for last week so I've done two similar blank cards for this week.
The crochet granny square is done in embroidery silks and is sewn onto a pale dusky pink card mounted on textured cream.  All the edges are ink-smudged in dusky pink.


The inside has a pale dusky pink paper insert with a decorative edge cut to match the raised card on the front.
