I'm so super excited and totally
thrilled, the week that I've been
waiting for almost an year is finally here.
I have the honor of being the "Growing In Unity gal" (GUI)!
So from Monday through Friday this week
I'll be featuring fabulous Unity stamps.
I hope you'll like my makes and visit often and write a comment;
because someone will be winning some awesome
red rubber Unity stamps, YAY!!
So hop to my blog, leave a comment, and you might win!!!!
For today I made some teabag art using
beautiful Poppies stamp (I got this stamp from
a surprise bag - they are really worth the money)
For the first card I just stamped the image using
brown Distress Ink.
I placed a piece of paper under the teabag so that the
image would show better.
For a second card I stamped the image on the teabag
and also to the paper I was placing under it.
I roughly colored the image going under.
And it gave nice soft color to the flowers.
For a third card I colored my teabag poppies
with Inktense pens. Teabag don't handle rubbing
very well, so if you do this, be gentle with your brush.
Thank you so much for hopping to my blog today,
I hope to see you again tomorrow.
Very pretty cards!

Your cards got better and better the more I saw :-) I especially love the last one with the Inktense pencils. That is not the result that I would have expected...but it is so beautiful. Can't wait to see what else you create this week. Congrats to a great start.
VastaaPoistaLove these. Each one is prettier than the last.

VastaaPoistaBeautiful work! I am working on teabags for the first time now. Love your tips & finished cards!!! Congrats on your GIU week!
VastaaPoistaSuch a pretty stamp - love your teabag cards
VastaaPoistaI just love these cards. I have some tea bags that I have been saving to stamp on and the idea of putting a colored image behind them is so beautiful that I will have to try it. My first year as a GIU gal was at this time too and it is so hard to wait that long. Enjoy each day because it goes by so quickly.
VastaaPoistaI love the idea of stamping on tea bags. I have never tried this. Going to need to do some research on what to do. Very pretty work
VastaaPoistaYour card is beautiful. I am going to buy some tea bags to try this technique out. I love the colors and the vintage distressed look. Can't wait for more of your creation!
VastaaPoistaI love the look the teabag gives!
VastaaPoistaGreat stamps! I love all your designs, but the red one is my favorite. Great job. Thanks for the inspiration!
VastaaPoistaWhat a gorgeous technique using the tea bags. I especially love the one you didn't color. I think the poppies are pretty enough to stand on their own. Beautiful cards, thanks for sharing your talents.
VastaaPoistaThe card in red is just absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!!
VastaaPoistaThese are beautiful! How do you get the tea bag? Have never seen this done and need to know--your cards are all so pretty!!
