Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful Blog Hop


A wonderful group of cardmakers, are celebrating this year's International Women's day by having an encouraging and uplifting Instagram and a blog hop together. 

Time For Tea Designs is proud to take part as one of the sponsors of this fabulous event.

In this hop we plan to celebrate the inner strength of a woman. 

The first Women's day hop last year took place with the contribution of more than 10 amazing and kind sponsors. This year, its' even bigger than before with more sponsors and more inspiration. 

 • Hop date 8th March 12pm IST till 22nd March 12pm IST 
• The hop will be open internationally. 
• There is a linky party, where we invite the participants to make and share their makes for a chance to win wonderfully prizes from our sponsors.
 • The sponsors are a mix of all international brands. 
Winners will be randomly selected.

Follow this LINK to find out more and take part in the fun!

Not only are we sponsoring with a prize of a £20 gift Ecard for the store but I have also made a card to share.

 I really wanted to create something beautiful and encouraging that you could send to a friend in need of some positive uplifting vibes!! I think we all need reminding we are fabulous from time to time!


This card is totally out of my comfort zone as I rarely do just floral centrepieces. Keeping my image small mean I didn't feel overwhelmed by the task.
I used our Thanks a Whole Bunch Stamp Set and stamped it using embossing ink over our Small Square Masking Stencil. I set the ink with Thirsty Brush True Black Embossing Powder. This stuff is amazing! Super shiny and very fine so it gets all the detail.
The card stock is bright white mixed media 160gsm that I had in my stash. It works really well with watercolours as I painted my flowers with Zig Real Brush Markers.


My card base is one of our 5" square card blanks. I added a square of our Rainbow Bright's Paper to this base. This was cut using our new Quilted Square Nesting Dies. The focal panel was cut using the same die set.
The sentiments are from the Say Anything Stamp set and again I stamped them with embossing ink & the Thirsty Brush True Black Powder.


I adhered the panel to my card base using Foam tape. The finishing touch was some Nuvo Crystal Drops in yellow & green randomly dotted around the image.

I hope you like the project today.
Details of the T4TD products I used are below.

Please head over to the Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful Hop for more wonderful inspiration and good luck with the linky party!

XOXO

  15. What an amazing card inspiration this is.. For me the bold colors represent the boldness in the woman whereas the flowers represent the humbleness and the love the woman carries with herself.. This is a combination of both bold and beautiful.. I'm totally amazed by the lovely inspiration... ❤️❤️❤️
