It's High Tea Time for The Paper Players #40

Wow, it's week #4 and my last of the Guest Designer spot with The Paper Players.   I want to say good bye and thank all of the Design Team ladies Lesley, Nance, LeAnne, Anne Marie, Jaydee and Ann for all their ongoing wonderful support.  It was a wonderful fun experience working with all of you.  High tea cheers to all!

Here's my take: 

 

This week we have a Sketch Challenge for you! I love sketch challenges. Just pick your favorite color combo and stamp set and play along with us this week!

Do you like the tea bag?  My little vellum tea bag was INspired/CAsed by Carrie Gaskin/Artistic Avenger whose original can be seen here with a few slight changes.  Three easy steps shown below. I used my tag punch, cover the cs tag piece with vellum, filled the tea bag with real tea (for a scent ... Mmmm), then used the string that came from a real tea bag already tea stained.   Check out her blog, you'll fall in love with this talented artist: Carrie Gaskin.
