It's Tuesday and our challenge this week is to be inspired by everyday packaging. I'm under the weather and reached for some tea today. The four thumbnails on the right side are from that box of teabags. That inspired me to try tea bag stamping, something I thought would be much more difficult. Check out the tutorial on this site. The "painting the roses" panel was stamped on the tea bag that sat steeping just a few moments earlier. I chose not to colour it as there already seemed to be a lot going on here. This is not as cohesive as I had hoped but I think the theme is there. This card will go out to a fellow teapotter. Hopefully she will be tickled by it. Enjoy!

I'm sorry you're under the weather but this lead you to a great theme. Your Alice illustrations are perfect..and glad you tried the tea bag technique. Cool card.

You must have much more interesting tea than I do! Fun to tie that in with tea bag stamping.
I think leaving it uncoloured was the right call, it looks like aged paper. I fact I thought at first it must have been from an old book. I hope you're feeling a bit better by now.

I hope you feel better soon. Your card is so cool, and I love the stamped tea bag. That is always a favorite of mine.

Yes, me too, wishing you well! I love your take on the theme of up packaging. I’ve got a few tea bags drying myself…the painting the roses is quite a fab stamp.

You certainly have extra fancy tea bags .... you've made a wonderful Alice themed card! I hope you are feeling much better now.

Sorry you’re not feeling well, but happy you were able to play along. Great work on the tea bag stamping (which I’ve yet to try) and the Alice in Wonderland images from the box make a great border.
