simon says stamp monday challenge: coffee or tea?

This week the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is all about Coffee or Tea. I usually drink coffee in the morning, and tea at night. Whenever my sister comes to stay the night, we catch up over a cup of tea. I thought the Tim Holtz Sizzix Tea Time Die would be perfect to make a card for her:

I made the background using one of the papers from the Wallflower paper pad, and gave it some painty layers with stencils, stamping in paint, and bit of paint spatter with my Liquitex splatter brush (it sure is fun to use). 

I cut the tea cups out of the cork paper from the Tim Holtz Textured Surfaces, then painted them with Distress paints. Once they were dry, I added some patterns to them by stamping another layer of Distress paint on with the Distress Damask Cling Stamps. 

Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $50 gift voucher that will go to one random challenge entry. So please join us for this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. You might also be on our Friday Designer Spotlight. Good luck, I can't wait to see what you make!
