Tea Stains and Leaves


Playing with leftover buttons, I had to make some birthday cards for this month. I have, sadly, still not sent any of them out...must do that! I also finally started to play with the Distressing Kit. Love It! Knew I would, just didn't pull them out until now :)


I think I may have overdone the distressing ink, and I used the Tea Stain and the Mahogany. Had fun with the different punches too :) How fun is it to find new ways to layer them together for a great focal point?!

This is the inside of the overly distressed one :) I believe I used Bring on the Cake and I think it fits really well.



This is the less distressed version. A little clearer and crisper. I might have to keep one of these to pet :)


Inside is a little more simple too, but I still like it. Really like it! It is not always about the layers :)

  •  Stamps: Gently Falling, Bring on the Cake, Happiest Birthday Wishes
  • Paper: Naturals White, Soft Suede, Pool Party, River Rock
  • Ink: Soft Suede, More Mustard, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, Tea Stain, Mahogany
  • Other: Big Shot with Buttons #5 die, Designer Label punch, Doily Triple Layer punch, Distressing Essentials kit, Early Espresso Baker's Twine, Stampin' Dimnesionals

Can you believe I don't own this kit? I love what you did with it here though. Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Love the dimension that the Distressing Kit provides on these cards. Both versions are just lovely.
