Hello Nomad fans. Gosh, busy here today! I must have bus syndrome. You know, never one when you want one and then three arrive at once. Anyway, it's the 15th so time for a new challenge at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and this time the theme is On Wings She Flies. We want to see your stamped makes featuring winged females. I decided to use the sweet Tee Hee Hard Luck Pixie and a tea cup die cut from Marianne Designs.
Hmmm, tea!! Bliss for me. Being British I have a distinct weakness for a lovely cup of tea. Loved when Lost Coast Designs released this cute tea bag carrying pixie.
I started by making the tea cup. I die cut it from some greyboard ex-packaging. I masked the inside of the cup and then stamped with Lost Coast Designs Yourba Adire background stamp and Stormy Sky distress ink.
I made a card base from some patterned paper and stamped Tee Hee on it using black archival. That gives me all the little details I don't want to fussy cut. Then I stamped again on a scrap of white card and coloured with distress inks. She's got Worn Lipstick socks, Peeled Paint trousers, Stormy Sky shirt, Mowed Lawn hair and a Rusty Hinge tea bag. I gave her wings a very pale Stormy Sky wash and added some glitter. Then I fussy cut her, the tea bag and tea tag.
I stuck everything on the card base, tucking the tea tag behind the cup cos I do dislike a soggy tea tag!! I added a few black pen details to make it look like the tea bag is causing ripples. Oh yeah, I used Rusty Hinge for the tea in the cup as well. Then I finished by stamping the Carmen's Veranda clear stamp word Bliss. Hmmm, tea!!
Thanks for dropping by. Link up your stamped winged females for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars. Remember, the more players the bigger the prize!!
A pot of Keemun tea has been brewing whilst I've been typing so me and my tea are going out in the garden to enjoy the sunshine. Hugz

I'm a tea drinker, too! And the look on that pixie's face is exactly how I feel when I find my first cuppa in the morning. I love this project. So whimsical and beautifully composed! Thanks for sharing with us at the Frilly and Funkie "Re-Use, Re-Purpose, Re-Cycle" Challenge!
