Today's Tea Party is for Joyce in PA who is recovering from a stroke. One of Joyce's hobbies was cross stitching which inspired me to use one of my Waffle Flower cross stitch sets. And don't they look good with the floating strips technique that Jeanette challenged us to try for her FF challenge? And in this week's colors! This card was very fun to make and I hope it brings Joyce a smile.

Totally charming with the cross stitch teacup and tea bag, Jen. The embroidery hoops are a great idea to go with them. Your card will be much appreciated for sure.

You’re getting bonus points all over. I missed the challenge with the paper strips. I am going to have to try it out. This is super darling and so thoughtful.

The floating strips and colours do look great - but it's those little embroidery hoop dies that just catch me - so cute. And tea and a teabag - amazing, who'd have thunk!! I think I probably have a book of cross-stitch designs with something similar, unless I purged it.

You combined all these challenges beautifully...those images are adorable and perfect for a cross-stitch lover like Joyce. Love the floating strips and this week's colors. I need to check out that challenge too. Fabulous card.
