Best Wishes

Hi everyone!

I am delighted and honored to be a guest designer at A Place to Start for the months of June and July.

The theme for June is

ANYTHING GOES w/OPTIONAL TWIST: 

Recycle

I'm a big tea drinker, so I recycled one of these bags, to stick to the twist of the challenge. 

First, I laid the open bag flat and coated it with a layer of gesso. After drying, I stamped the flowers and leaves, then colored them with Posca pens and alcohol ink markers. I also added some golden accents to the flower petals. 

I then created the background with blue, white, red and black acrylic paint and left to dry. I stamped the sentiment on the teabag label. Glued the teabag and label on a blank card, then stamped a background pattern in both corners of the card. Hope you like it.

The contents of the teabags are also recycled, which makes my plants and vegetables happy! 🌻🍅😎

Hope to see you play along at A Place to Start ...
