I think that 2 things I have also been very grateful for recently is my crafting in my garden studio and my endless cups of tea!

Here  is the card I made

and this is how I made it.

First I added a rainbow of Brushos to watercolour card. When dry I stamped the small cups from the 

Always tea time set

I then stamped the thank you from the thank you coffee set. I also stamped, coloured and cut out the lovely cup with flower from this set.

For a finishing touch I added the larger sentiment from the thank you coffee set. 

I then matted and layered my card.

Here is one last shot of my giving thanks make.

So before I close here is my treat I mentioned at the beginning of this post...If you order more than $15 of product from the website (after discounts and before shipping) and quote my unique code STAMPGIRLJANE at checkout not only can you get 20% off your order you can also choose a product for FREE up to the value of $7! Here is a link to the website.

Try to stay mindful in these difficult times. If you are struggling try to think of just one thing today that you are thankful for too. 

Stay safe.

Bye for now,
