Tea & Humour
Over at Oh Alice this week we are challenged to use tea bag folding in our artwork, well that's where I struggled, I have never done any tea bag folding before mainly because it's not really my cup of tea, oh sorry could not resist it LOL. However, I put my thinking cap on and added a little of my sense of humour and came up with a card which I am hoping the team at Oh Alice will let me get away with!!
I went downstairs into the kitchen and proceeded to empty a couple of my tea bags of tea so that I could actually use the empty bags, I know, I know, the things I will do to enter a challenge LOL. Anyway I have scrunched and folded slightly my empty tea bags (well that does count as tea bag folding don't you think), coloured with ink and added a clock to the centre of the bags.
The image is from an Oxford Impressions sheet which I have coloured with DI and I have added a piece of metal embossed with clocks that I have sanded and coloured with alcohol inks. Just hope this passes now for the challenge LOL. I had great fun making it if nothing else.

Hi again, Tacy.
Forgot to say the card is fantastic.. all that detail...is it embossed or did you attach those elements to the page?

Cheeky get round - I would have had to do the same; I've never tea bag folded either! Love it though.
Hey, it looks like teabag folding to me!!!! Wonderful project. The colors are wonderful and that embossed metal background is FAB!!!
