It's my turn to host the WTUI challenge this week - you can find it HERE.
When we visited Anita, she gave me some teabags to bring home, and it's taken me a long time to get round to trying them (the ones we have here, by the time you pulled them open you wouldn't have much stamping space! I dyed two of them in tea and made two cards, but I'll just upload this one for now.
I stamped Canvas in blue, and then Oh So Lovely on once side, and then a tall green wild grass on the other, but it was a bit meh. So I added the script and spatter, and then once I went for a larger card base and added the butterfly and birthday sentiment on the right, it became more balanced. The embossed gold paper is from my stash - working on using it up. I added some distressed cheesecloth underneath, and a die-cut butterfly and birthday sentiment on top.

Oh my this looks so much more beautiful on the big screen. I knew it was gorgeous when I saw the thumbnail but it is exquisite. Love it all. How cool to visit Anita in France. TFS. Happy day. I wish I could save this to my favourites.

So beautiful, Sabrina! Love the antique look of the tea staining and of course the tea bag looks so elegant on cheesecloth and gold embossed background!
