Another dear friend recently forwarded a tutorial on making this cute little Tea Bag Holder, so I decided to give it a go! So I used the tutorial for the pattern and then for the front panel, I used another tutorial from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Tips and Techniques Section - Watercoloring on Velvet Glitter! Sparkle N Sprinkle has recently added a new product to their already extensive line of glitters. We now have Velvet Glitters! These glitters actually feel like velvet, they are super soft and it is so much fun to stamp on top of them and now, it's been proven, that we can use several mediums to color on top of them too!
For this particular project, I used Watercolor Crayons. I covered a piece of cream cardstock with a piece of SNS's Super Adhesive Sheets. I cut and embossed with Spellbinder's Labels One die and then removed the protective backing and applied Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter to the entire piece. I then stamped the Magnolia image and saying in black Staz-On and colored in the Magnolia with a waterbrush and watercolor crayons.
I attached a little row of pearls to the bottom to finish it off! I know my friend Sharon, is going to love this! I put a tea bag in one pocket and a Starbuck's card in the other.
Here's the finished product:
Now, I need to go and make her a batch of shortbread to go along with it! 'Till next time.
