My teabag art for today - Margarita imitating the Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Cocktail Blueprint series of stamps

LOL, my favorite drink - I have always loved the Tim Holtz/stampers anonymous blueprint stamp series.  I have this Cocktail Blueprint series on my wishlist - but even if I had it it would not fit on a teabag so I decided to try to duplicate it in miniature.

This is a used tea bag but some of the tea does not leave much in the way of marks when it dries - the tag is missing from this one but I believe it was Chamomile tea.

This one is primed with clear gesso and then I used gouache to paint the image - I used a white posca pen and black permanent ink pen for details.

"He's 1" Little Boy First Birthday Layout

This is a layout of my grandson Jack.  He has just turned 1.  This was taken at his birthday party.  I love the look on his face.  It's almost as if he is totally bored with the whole picture taking process!  This was done on white cardstock.  I used Martha Stewart embossing powder, scraps from my crap pile, Stampers Anonymous "Artful Artifacts CMS080" Stamp, Circle Punches, Tim Holtz Rosette Die and yellow chalk.

The Flower Girl

Hi Everyone,
I have finished another scrapbook page and wanted to share it.  I used a piece of white cardstock, stamped on the background with versamark ink and embossed with a' la mode white embossing powder using Darkroom Door stamp "Prague, Vol 2; Mickey Choo Botanical set; Stampers Anonymous "Curiosities"; Heartfelt Creations background stamp "Vintage Word".  Then the background was sprayed with Heidi Swapp Black Velvet and Primrose Color Shine. The frame is from Scrapmatts and I painted it white, then brushed it with versamark ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder.  The birds are also from Scrapmatts and they were painted white, then after they were dry I painted on some white glue and sprinkled them with Martha Stewart Fine white glitter.  The wedding dress is a Jolee embellishment.  All of the flowers are handmade.  The lillies were made from Susan's Garden Lily die, I crocheted the pink flower and added a pearl flower center.  I added pieces of lace, white feathers and string pearl trim behind the flower.  The label was made with Spellbinders Elegant ovals and the text was printed on white cardstock using my computer.  Thank you for Looking!
