Hello and TFL!
Here is a holiday Tag decorated with ONE of the many TEA BAG PAPER succulent flowers I made. They were SO FUN to make!! I just laid a few more in the photo to show the variety of shades the tea stain gives each one a unique quality.
This project is a Mixed Media challenge MMJ09 (thanks NANCY, my sweet spot) where the challenge was to use Tea Bags. I love using tea bags and my gallery has many other postings to see, if you are interested. Also there is a Tea Bag Tutorial on this website, check it out! : )
Used tea bag paper sprayed with the Champagne Mist sparkly All Purpose Ink. IRL, these succulents are just dazzling, tried everything to photo better... but, this is the best photo I could get.
adhered tea bag paper to S U Naturals White cs with Tombow snail adhesive
After I cut with the S U succulent die set, I did sponge a light bbSugar onto the tips of the succulent that is attached to the Tag.
The other 3 are simply the colors of the TEA stained tea bag paper. Some slight darker spots got on a couple tea bag pieces when I lifted them off the bottom of my spray box from past T Holtz stain left behind in the spray box. I really liked the added touch I hadn't expected! : )
Used a few smallest petal die cuts for 'flowers' strung on linen tread, attached at top bow.
Sprayed the Cajun Craze CS with same Champagne Mist sparkle ink spray, wow this is one sparkly tag (wish you could see it : )
Cut three layers of the Graphic 45 tag for added oomph! Two layers in the sparkly Cajun craze (top and back) and a Naturals White CS layer in the middle.
Used White Acrylic Paint to white splatter.
Glued papers to the tag, added lace trim and attached bow at the Tag hole on top of longer ribbon to attach to a gift bag.
hope you are enjoying the fall holidays making! stay well everyone, Teresa
