Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop


I'm playing along with The Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I shouldn't be here - I don't like coffee, in fact I hate it.  But fortunately for me and other coffee haters (I can't be the only one, can I?) the hop is open to tea drinkers as well.


I have very few coffee-related stamps, which isn't surprising, but I don't have many tea-related stamps either, which is surprising.  This stamp is from an old Kanban set.  I inked it up with Distress Inks and spritzed it, then stamped it off the edge of the card.  I sloshed some watered-down ink for a base, and added some splatters (yay!) and a sentiment.

I'm also entering it into Less is More - This Makes Me Happy.  Sloshing and splattering on cards makes me very happy.  Drinking tea makes me happy (nothing like a good cuppa).  Drinking wine makes me very happy - I may have to make another card ;)


And Inkspirational - Sprinkle.  I'm hoping that splattering also counts as sprinkling!

    Shirley, this is beautiful. If I tried sloshing, my cards would look like I was sloshed while making it! Such beautiful colors, and love that the tea cup is hanging off the edge. I could look at this all day. LOVE this card. Bev
