Tea Time!

It's Tuesday which means it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. I created a card with the gorgeous tea pot from the Tea Time Rubber Cling Stamp Set by Mistrahl for Carabelle Studio. Since there was a moon and stars on the teapot, I chose to create a background using the Stardots Stencil by Craft Emotions and the Alchemy Sympbols Stencil by Stamperia with Sundance, Confetti, and Della Blue Elements Ink by Lavinia Stamps, Cheerful VersaFine Clair Inks by Tsukineko, and Wishy-Washi Washi Tape 19 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create.

Here it is!

Notes:

• The New Canvas Palette Ink dries very quickly to a translucent white matte finish that you can leave as is, color with pencils, chalk pencils, or ink. 
• If you don't have a pouncy tool like mine, you can use a piece of steel wool and/or crumpled tin foil to apply the ink.
