I decided I wanted to do something other than a card today, and one of the new Flourishes sets contains images of teacups and accessories. So I thought I would make a tea bag holder, using the tutorial in the Resources section of Splitcoaststampers.
The base of the tea bag holder is MFP’s Spring Leaf. I made my own DP for the inside with several of the stamps from Flourishes’ Christmas Tea set, coloring them with Copic markers. I didn’t want the silver snowflakes to overtake the images, so I did not emboss them – just stamped them with silver pigment ink. The front is stamped similarly to the inside DP, but I popped up the teapot and added a spoon charm. It was originally brass, but I pushed it into the silver pigment ink and sprinkled it with Detail Silver embossing powder. I thought the eggnog-flavored tea was perfect for a Christmas cup!
The paper, Palette ink, charm, ribbon, and Flourishes images are available at Mark’s Finest Papers

Great idea Lois. Red and green wonderful traditional colours and those little charms really top off the cards.
Understated and sweet with the bow as a WOW factor. The charm silvered up beautifully.
Lovely idea. Great bow!
Take care
