Tea bag stamping #3

Here’s another (used) tea bag panel that I stamped on and the colored with some acrylic markers. The background stamp is from Unity and the floral stamp is a woodblock stamp by Stampabilities. Dies are Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles. The sentiment is from Stampendous.

More Tea Bag stamping

I’m really having fun stamping and coloring on used tea bags. I used MFT Stamps Flower Silhouettes and stamped in Versa Clair Pinecone onto the cleaned and dried tea bag. I water colored the flowers and added a little sparkle with a silver Jelly Roll pen. The tea cup was die cut with a die from The Cat’s Pajamas. I cut it from some patterned paper, but didn’t like how it looked, so I colored over the paper with some Copic markers and added some Clear Wink of Stella for a little shimmer. I die cut 2 frames from ivory card stock using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies, glued them together and used foam tape to pop it up. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. The metal gems are from my stash.

Tea bag stamping

I’ve seen several You Tube videos on Tea bag art and wanted to try it. Tea bags are a transparent, but fairly sturdy type of medium. Here’s a link for a little introduction to it by Nina Ribena Tea bag Art video 

I make iced tea a gallon at a time for my husband all summer long. I use the family size tea bags, which are a little larger than a A2 card. The tea bag was rinsed and dried. The music background is a stamp from Unity stamps, stamped in VersaFine Claire Pinecone ink. The floral stamp is Hero Arts Nasturtium (NBUS), stamped in the Pinecone ink and water colored. I trimmed down and adhered the tea bag panel to an ivory card base with some Aileen’s Tacky glue and then cut two frames using MFT Stamps Stitched Rectangle. I glued them together and used foam tape to add it to the card. A few tiny gems were added for the flower centers for a little sparkle. It looks much prettier in person. The tea stains give a vintage look.
