The morning Brew


Sharing a  'just because', card I made for a tea loving friend, 
who like me has to start each day with a cup of strong tea.
The background is stencilled and random stamped.
Vintage Photo, and Victorian Velvet distress inks, were used for all the shading.
This was also the first use of my new Tea Cups die [Tim Holtz] , 
I have been waiting for months to get my hands on this.
The words are from a Dylusions stamp set.

There is still another week for the 'Try Something New',  Challenge to run at
Try it on Tuesdays. We are all enjoying seeing the super entries and hope you will join the fun.
