Hello there! Today I have a fun project to share using a tea bag and Prickley Pear Rubber stamps and dies!
Begin by soaking a tea bag in hot water. I make myself a cup of tea and save the bags!
Open tea bag and remove tea leaves, allow it to dry completely before stamping.
I drink a wide variety of teas and it's a lot of fun to see the different stains they create.
Dried Papers
To create this card I did not let the tea bag dry but cleaned off the tea leaves then dripped TH Reinkers directly onto the wet tea bag.
I used my heat gun to quickly dry the inked bag, then I stamped "PPRS GG0187 Black Capped Chickadees" on the tea bag and tore the edges to center the image. The stained tea bag looks a bit like linen now!
I stamped the sentiment, "DD0199 Happy Spring 2" in the lower corner and
Super work with the tea bag, Angie. That really made a most beautiful design and beautiful card. You're so good at these kinds of things.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting snow or ice? We had a dusting of snow yesterday and 8 degrees this morning.
How pretty. I love how your tea bag looks stamped. I love using my tea bags to antique my projects. I haven't ever stamped on them before. I wonder how it would work if I used it to antique and then let it dry and stamp on it. Going to have to give it a try. Hope you and your family are staying safe with this winter storm.
