The British And Tea
Hello. Welcome. Well, I have searched the stash and come up sadly lacking for coffee, tea and hot chocolate related products. Which is phenomenally strange considering how much I enjoy these drinks. I have a whole cupboard just with tea and coffee. OK, mostly tea. You have to go to another cupboard to find the hot chocolate. Only three different types there but I have recently been introduced to melting chocolate bars in hot milk to get the most delicious heavenly hot chocolate. And think, any flavour chocolate bar could become a special hot chocolate drink!! Yummy. That said, I wanted to join the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop so after a search of the stash I came up with this lovely stamp from Crafty Individuals. Perfect.....
I coloured a die cut stitched panel with Mustard Seed distress ink. Less in the middle, more on the edges. Then I splashed on some water drops. I stamped Crafty Individuals Tea Tree and sentiment in black archival. I wanted a particular shade of grey card for my base. I know I bought a pack 15 years ago. Can't believe I've used it already!! Had to settle for some pale grey which I applied Watering Can archival to. Just use the pad gently directly on your card and the pattern of the pad surface leaves a very pleasing effect.
I love all the fun details in this stamp. The sentiment reads 'Meet under the tree for a nice cup of tea' Sounds like a plan to me LOL

Lovely picture created here, and great background. Also love the chocolate in the hot milk idea - just shared it with my son (ooops perhaps that was a bad idea!?). Thanks for entering the CI Challenge Gail. Jean x
How creative, love that stamp! Beautiful work :)
Oh I love it! And how dare that paper pack not last 16 years...LOL
Gail, this is just wonderful!! What a fabulous stamp!!! Love it in black with the mustard seed ink behind it. Great technique for your gray background. I, too, had to laugh abt you digging around for the 15 yr old pack of paper. Hahahaha... I bet a lot of us can relate to that!!! :)
