To create the hill and sky in the background I have just donea little bit of simple ink blending using the colours Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks from Tim Holtz and my T4T blender brush. 

To colour my images, I stamped them on to Crafters Companion Solar White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.

For the border I have cut out some plain white card with the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Die set and popped it up on to some foam tape for a little dimention. 

For a little extra interest I've added a few of the Clear Bubbles enamel dots.

Watercolour Thank you

Happy Friday, everyone, from DT Annalisa! Today, I’d like to share a watercolored thank you card I created using the Pumpkin Spice stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the background, I started with Ranger's Distress Watercolor Cardstock and used Scorched Timber and Salvaged Patina Distress Watercolor Pencils. I soaked the pencils in water, scribbled them onto acetate, and spritzed the acetate with water. Then, I pressed the acetate onto the watercolour paper repeatedly, heat setting and spritzing it with water as needed.

Once the background was dry, I used a Beautiful Blender Brush to apply Walnut Stain Distress Ink through the Coffee Stains 6 x6" Stencil. I die-cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and used a paintbrush and my finger to apply translucent Distress Grit Paste to the edges. 

I created an A2 card base using brown cardstock, which I inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to match the background. I adhered the background to the card base using double-sided foam tape.

Next, I stamped images from the Pumpkin Spice stamp set onto watercolour cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I coloured the images with Distress Watercolor Pencils, as I am much more comfortable using Copics, but I am trying to practice with watercolours more this year. Once the images were dry, I die-cut them using their coordinating dies.

For the sentiment, I stamped the word "thanks" using the Bold Sentiments stamp set and die-cut it with the matching die set. I used double-sided foam tape to adhere all the elements (except for the coffee beans) to the card base.

Finally, I added translucent Distress Grit Paste to the whipped cream for dimension to complete the card.

Jumping with JOY

 Happy Tuesday, everyone! DT Myrthe, here.

For today’s card, I’ve used stamps from several different sets. I combined the Jumping with Joy set with the Cool Critters set.

I started by coloring the stamps, and since I love cheerful colors, I went for a combination of pink, green, yellow, and turquoise.

It was so much fun placing the little critters and the ice cream truck in the grassy scene. I used a grass die to create the grass, and then added some color to the white cardstock with various shades of ink. To add a bit more depth, I splattered some white and green ink on top.

For the background, I used a cloud stencil and added some soft purple-pink clouds. I love how they contrast with the yellow of the ice cream and the little animals.

Next, I used the Joy die to match with the stamped sentiment. I inked the word with the same colors as the sky, tying everything together perfectly.

I’m really happy with how the card turned out – it’s so cheerful!

🩵 Hello Sweet Friend 🩵

Hello sweet friends! I’m back today with this super simple card featuring the Time for Tea Designs Treat Yourself stamp set and coordinating dies. Aren’t they just the cutest!?

I wanted to keep this card clean and simple with only the sweet little mice and the Hello sentiment as the main focus. (I’m not sure if the Hello die is still available but here is a Hello substitute you could use). I have used a sheet from the T4TD Pretty Pastels 6×6 paper pad and cut it down to a little less than US A2 size, 4.25” x 5.5”. I then stamped my images on to some Neenah Classic Crest card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers. For a finishing touch I added some T4TD Festive Fun enamel dots. 

I used the T4TD Wavy Hello sentiment die and cut 2 out of some plain white card stock and staked them togeher for a little bit of dimention. I took the Sweet Friend stamp which is also from the T4TD Treat Yourself set and stamped it with my Versafine Onyx Black ink.

You Warm My Heart

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I’m excited to share a beautiful winter scene mini slimline card I created using the Seasons Tweetings and Merry Cheesemas stamp sets from Time For Tea Designs. I love extending the use of these Christmas stamp sets by creating winter cards.

For the background, I started with mixed-media paper trimmed to 3 inches by 5 1/4 inches. I coloured directly onto the paper with three Distress Watercolor Pencils: Saltwater Taffy, Festive Berries, and Chipped Sapphire. Then, I used water and a watercolour brush to blend the colours.

I applied Wendy Vecchi embossing paste to the water-coloured panel using a palette knife over the Snowfall 6x6” Stencil. Once it dried, I added white dots using a white metallic marker. I adhered the panel to a white card base with double-sided tape.

Next, I stamped and coloured several images from the Seasons Tweetings and Merry Cheesemas stamp sets using Copics, and I cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. I added accents with a white gel pen from a Gelly Roll Pen.

To add a touch of sparkle, I applied glitter to the edges of some images using a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter. I then adhered the images to the card base, using either liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for added dimension.

The sentiment is from the Warm Hugs stamp set which I cut out with the coordinating die set. I used double-sided foam tape to stick it to the card base.

Have a Brew-tiful day

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Today, I'm sharing my very first card of the new year for Time For Tea Designs. 

I decided to use the Snappy Before Coffee stamp set for this one. I just love coloring these stamps, so I dove right into that. I colored the two crocodiles in various shades of green, which was so much fun!

A while ago, I received the Coffee Bean stencil, and I thought it would be perfect to incorporate it into the background. I used two different ink colors to create a soft, blended effect. 

To ground the images, I cut a strip from the Joyful Christmas paper pad, giving the impression of a cozy floor beneath the crocs.

I'm really happy with how this card turned out—it’s cheerful and perfect for any coffee lover!

Thank you for visiting the Time For Tea Designs blog, and I’ll see you next time!

To create the hills I have masked them off and I’ve done some ink blending using the Forest Moss, Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress ink from Tim Holtz and my T4T blender brush. I then used a wet paintbush to add some water splashes.

To colour my images, I stamped them on to Crafters Companion Solar White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them with my Arteza Everblend Markers.

I have added some of the Festive Fun enamel dots for some cute interest and they go so well with the Joyful Winter 6×6 paper pad.
