Edna's Cup of Tea

Afternoon :)

This week over on the Stamping Bella Blog, we're featuring Edna. I love Edna. This particular Edna was perfect for the card I needed to make for a friend recently. It was a big birthday for her. Originally she had arranged a tea party to celebrate, but obviously that was not able to happen at the moment. Perhaps later in the year, but in the meantime, Edna's got this!
