I’m a tea drinker. I probably have about 10 different varieties in my cupboard right now! Instead of drinking tea let’s use it in our card making. Actually if you feel like it enjoy a nice cuppa while you’re stamping. I will be.
Challenge: Create a vintage looking card using actual tea to dye your paper or use brown colored inks like tea dye distress or sepia colored ink.
Make sure to put WT983 in the keyword section and update this thread so everyone can see your creation.

I love tea dyeing even though I only drink herbal teas. You would think being English I would love black tea but nope. My mother drank copious amounts each day. I digress. I love your challenge Polly and another one added to my list although I do have some tea dyed papers in my stash. Maybe I can start with those. Happy day

I've never tea dyed, although have seen a lot of videos. I used a cranberry/apple red zinger, which was a lovely deep red, and dyed all my paper a purply grey colour. I tried cardstock, book pages, and plain old lined foolscap. I ended up using the line foolscap for this card, I had another card that ended up kind of a muddled mess without a real focal point. Collage is hard :P
