Let's Have Tea

Hi all, 

I know it's been a while since I've been on here. Life happens, right? I am glad to be back posting away. lol

Today I would like to share my design team project for the new challenge at International Art & Soul, the challenge is "Tea Party" . 

I created this little cute paper tea cup using a paper template I printed out and cut out which will hold little tea bags inside. I also placed a little journaling card behind the bags so I can write a little note to my friend, whom I am sending this tea cup. 

I hope you all like it.

To create this cute tea cup I used Graphic 45 Botanical Tea

papers, chipboard and lace, and a few pink roses. 

Here is the template if you would like you can print it out. 

The dotted lines are where you score, fold in the little

tabs and glue them to the sides of your cup.

Let's Go Fishing

Good Day All,

I hope you all are having a good start to your week. Today at Crafty Sentiments Designs we are having a New Challenge - For A Man so this is a good time to start those early Father's Day cards or Happy Birthday Cards for the lovely men your your life. :D  

I chose Let's Fish stamp from Crafty Sentiments Store for my man card. It's the first time I think I've combined so many stamps in one card, plus got to use my NEW Cricut Explore. :D  This is such a cute stamp. I absolutely love it, reminds me of my hubby when we would go fishing he would be so excited if he caught one.

Here is my card -

I think it turned out cute. 

I did water coloring on my image with Tim Holtz Distress Markers. 

Water was water-colored with Gelato's and used Copics for my

water waves and splash I drew for the fish. 

I like how the his hat and clothing turned out

cause they look worn out. Something guys would wear for fishing.
