Hello Everyone! It's still sweltering here (for the UK anyway). I've been hiding indoors, apart from popping the tortoises out into their garden pen, and topping up the water in the bird bath. I caught up with two of my favourite TV shows this morning, The Handmaid's Tale and Agents Of Shield, then I decorated my seven teabags for week 28 of the 365 Somethings Challenge.
I started by adding a base and some stencilled designs, using my large Gelli Plate and PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylics. I added some splashes of black Bombay Ink, then printed with plastic aida and Snowflake Fresco. I pulled a beautiful ghost print from the Gelli Plate, on which I stamped the Finnabair butterflies. The Finnabair phrases were stamped on the edge of a book page, cut out, then glued to the teabags along with the butterflies.
Here's the ghost Gelli Print I stamped the butterflies on. The masks I used are by PaperArtsy and Carabelle Studio.
Wishing you all a happy and creative Monday!

Wonderful teabags! It's very hot here, too, don't know where to put mself just now! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI swear I feel for you, Alison. As I was just now commenting to Gill, I have a whole house air conditioner and a window unit for my office electronics that can get very hot. If my whole house AC went out, I'd live in my office with the cats until winter arrived.
ReplyDeleteMore unique and unusual tea bags this week. I LOVE how you work each week in a series. These with the butterflies are out of this world.
