It's National Tea Day!


Happy National Tea Day!  In honor of this special day, the Coffee Loving Cardmakers are collaborating with Honey Bee stamps for a super fun blog hop - if you already knew that, then you must have come from the awesome Laurel Seabrook's blog!   


Enjoy all the wonderful tea themed projects and comment to win!  There will be two winners of a $30 Honey Bee Stamps gift certificate: one from the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and one from Honey Bee Stamps! You can find the full blog hop list at Coffee Loving Cardmakers or Honey Bee Stamps.  Commenting closes on April 26th.


Both my cards today feature Honey Bee Stamps Tea Time

On my first card, I first sponged Tea Dye and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Inks using a honeycomb stencil.  I then stamped, cut and copic colored several of the images in the Tea Time set.  The pretty daisies are from Honey Bee Stamps Busy Bees set.


For my next card, I sprayed Distress Fossilized Amber spray for a quick background.  Using the Honey Bee Stamps Hexagon Bunches Dies, I cut black cardstock.  The cute little bees and daisies are from the Honey Bee Stamps Busy Bees set and the sentiment is from the Perfect Blend sentiment set.


Next up on the hop is the amazing...Amy Tsuruta
