Papertrey Ink Stamp-a-faire 2013: Tea Staining Techniques

The tea staining challenge had so many wonderful options, but I went with what I had on hand. The tea-dyed cheesecloth is left over from a pirate banner I made a few years ago. It's attached to the back of the Enchanted Evening mat with double-sided sticky tape and dry-brushed with gold paint. The card base is my favorite PTI color, Ocean Tides. The Star Prints sentiment is stamped with Paris Dusk Memento Dye Ink. The star is painted with gold Acrylic Paint.

April Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

This month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop is dedicated to the boys and men in our lives. Focusing on "masculine color schemes, fresh pattern combinations, understated embellishments and unique uses of images you may already have in your stash!"

I didn't have Up Up and Away, so I had to use two stamps from Club Scrap.  The It's Your Day sentiment comes from Papertrey Ink's Star Prints. The card base is Vintage Cream and the stamped mat is Simply Chartreuse.

The winner of the handspun embroidery thread from last month's blog candy is Monica K.
