WT961-Reading the Tea Leaves-8/10/23

[peeps321]

Did you know that we celebrate Afternoon Tea Week this month? Ok I didn't either. Apparently we need to get out our Earl Grey, tea cozies, biscuits, heavy cream and enjoy some tea from August 7th through the 13th. Why not!

Challenge: Feature tea items on your card or use tea as a medium to age something or stamp on a tea bag.

I'm all about tea, for sure. Starting to make table treats for Christmas, this is a double sided tea bag/treat holder.

I found a tea stamp I haven't used before, thanks to my ongoing efforts to organize my craft supplies. Here's my card.

[Crafty Julia]

had fun using pinks with soft green and tan accents- combined your tea challenge with this week's sketch challenge- here's You're Tea-riffic

[Crafty Julia]

Decided to do a second card, this time with mostly browns and greens- and a yellow circle accent from the sketch challenge this week- used a wreath as a larger circle element- and dry embossing with added borders. Here's Stacked Teacups HB

Thanks for today's tea challenge, Polly. It sent me looking for this old stamp set that hasn't seen ink in a long time!

Finally, got my tea card made WT961 Jasmine Tea anyone? by cheermom at Splitcoaststampers

[Crafty Julia]

Polly- great challenge, thank you! I started out with the idea of a post-card creation, with lots of embellishments and distressing- both crumpling the stamped and colored image, and applying a wet teabag to blur everything a bit. Used coral yarn for a bow, 2 die cut button/brad combos, a gathered lace border and a black die cut intricate border from my stash. Here's Snowy Postcard
