Man Style Tea Greeting Card

 

I always find masculine cards a challenge, but wanted to include some in a pack of tea cards I was sending off to the Banff Tea Co.  I came up with a few, including this fun card made with Authentique paper from the Rugged collection, and a teacup die from Cottage Cutz.   The sentiment I printed off my computer.

Of course, I used lots of distress ink (ground espresso).  If you have some fun masculine card ideas I would love to see them!  

With enough tea, anything is possible....

Iced Tea Cards

I had some fun experimenting with and creating these iced tea embellishments.  And I am happy to share with you.  I stamped some glass shapes and `smooshed` them onto a few drops of Vintage Photo Distress Ink refill liquid.  I then took an ice cube stamp and randomly stamped these using the same refill ink.  After the glasses were dry I cut them out, dipped them into embossing ink and covered them with clear embossing powder.  I love these!  Background papers are from Webster`s Pages (The Good Life collection).  Perfectly frosted iced tea, just in time for our hot summer weather.

Here is a close up of the glasses; unfortunately you cannot see the shine in the photo.
