I Love Brew Bookmark

 

Happy Friday, it is Annalisa here with my Friday project! Fall is a great time to stay in with a cup of tea and a good book, isn't it?! Today, I am sharing a tea-themed bookmark I created using several stamp sets and a stencil from Time For Tea Designs.

 

Now is a great time to grab the Tearrific Pals stamp set as it is on sale! Check out the 'Retiring Collection' section of the website for some great deals.

I added colour to the 3 1/8 inch by 6 1/4 inch tag (Dina Wakley Media White Tags-#8) by spraying tea-dye Distress Oxide Spray over the Coffee Stains 6 x 6" Stencil. I removed the stencil, sprayed on water (using a Distress Sprayer) and more tea-dye colour, and heat set this using the Tim Holtz Heat It Craft Tool. I find it essential to dry each time you apply colour/spray so you can build up the layers.

Next, I did some ink-smooshing onto the tag with ground espresso Distress Ink and a piece of acetate. For added detail and contrast, I added some splatter with a paintbrush and ink blended extra ink on the edges of the tag.  

I stamped 'I love brew' from The Perfect Blend stamp set with Vintage Sepia VersaFine ink. I then applied Icicle ultra fine embossing powder by Brutus Monroe (clear) and heat set it.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from Tearrific Pals, and the cup from Coffee Lover and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I used liquid glue to stick all of the elements to the tag. I tied some twine from Lawn Fawn through the opening in the bookmark to complete this project.
