Steeped with Love

 

It's a beautiful Saturday and I'm whipping out a card for a couple of challenges while waiting on a FedEx delivery and also waiting for temps to warm up. First is the Inspired By challenge which has a drink theme. I went with a teacup representing the "drink" and also used the sketch by creating a panel of strips over acetate (that accounts for the weird glare in the photos).  

Second challenge is for Tic Tac Toe where I went with the top horizontal row with food/beverage, die cuts and soft colors.  I also got to break in the new Finishing Touches die set by Kristina Werner that gives a variety of options for stitched details. There's a small amount of stenciling on the tea cup and don't you love that wee sentiment on the tag of the tea bag? 

STAMPS: Brew-tea-ful Day Sentiments, Sips Tea (The Greetery).

Tic Tac Toe

I went with a different style than you normally see from me. I was asked by a friend to create a Victorian birthday card and this is one of two that I completed. I'm also entering it into the current Tic Tac Toe Challenge using the middle horizontal line of birthday, patterned paper and layers. The paper reminded me of Victorian era wallpaper and then I added elements of old script pattern paper, lace trim, crinkled seam binding and postage corner collage.  

STAMPS: Birthday Your Way 2 (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Melon Berry, Lemon Tart, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Spring Moss (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Botanical 6x6 pad by Prima Marketing; Vintage Cream, Stamper's Select White (PTI).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Spring Nest, Birthday Your Way 2 (PTI); Stitched Rectangle & Banner Flag STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Seam binding; Enamel dots.
