Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop
I'm playing along with The Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I shouldn't be here - I don't like coffee, in fact I hate it. But fortunately for me and other coffee haters (I can't be the only one, can I?) the hop is open to tea drinkers as well.
I have very few coffee-related stamps, which isn't surprising, but I don't have many tea-related stamps either, which is surprising. This stamp is from an old Kanban set. I inked it up with Distress Inks and spritzed it, then stamped it off the edge of the card. I sloshed some watered-down ink for a base, and added some splatters (yay!) and a sentiment.
I'm also entering it into Less is More - This Makes Me Happy. Sloshing and splattering on cards makes me very happy. Drinking tea makes me happy (nothing like a good cuppa). Drinking wine makes me very happy - I may have to make another card ;)
And Inkspirational - Sprinkle. I'm hoping that splattering also counts as sprinkling!
