Courage

Coffee or Tea?  The challenge this week at  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  is to be inspired by coffee or tea.  I started with a tea colored spray.


I played around with a variety of tea colored inks and sprays and ended up blending the Ranger Distress Ink - Tea-Dye with Vintage Photo to sponge over the stencil for my background.

I sponged on the inks over the stencil.  I then decided to stamp and color the flower and pop dot it over the background.  I decided to use the beautiful sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Blessed Set

    This is beautiful Sue! I love the colours and the pretty flower. Tea Dye is one of my least used colours, I better use it more.
