SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #147 - T is for Tea

Hello and happy Saturday to you.

Today starts the new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS, and it happens to be

about my second favorite drink of choice,

T is for TEA!

As I'm wont to do, I've used a meme as my inspiration for this

art journal page:

I'm usually on the ball and take step by step pictures as my tutorial,

but I got into the painty, crakle paste, messy part and totally forgot 

about taking pictures from the beginning. So, here are

a few that I remembered to take along the way:

I was thinking soft colors paired with a stencil that sort of looked

like a lace tablecloth.

I couldn't find a teacup stamp large enough for what I needed so 

free clip art to the rescue! Note that I went over most of all the

gold parts on the teacup and saucer with a gold Gelly Roll pen:

To add to the 'vintage' vibe I wanted, I used crackle paste with the stencil:

The sentiment was typed and printed from my computer.

(Sometimes you just have to make your own sentiment. Instant digi stamp!)

One more look at the finished page:

I hope that you find some time to play along in our Tea challenge

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! We'd love to see your take on it.

Need more ideas? Simply check out what my Sisters, and our 

returning Queen and GD, Laura, have made for your viewing pleasure!

Thanks for hanging out. Have a great day!
