Tea Stained Tea Shoppe

Poppy Parade is my current 'fav' color.  Here I combined it with Pool Party and the lovely Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration catalog, Everyday Enchantment, #126154, FREE with a purchase of $50 from any of Stampin' Up!'s catalogs.  The stamp set is Tea Shoppe and you can find it in the Occasions Mini Catalog on page 19 (it's also a 'fav' of mine!).

The other thing I did was to use Stampin' Up!'s Tea Stain from the Distressing Essentials Kit, #118762.  This kit contains so many products to help all of us create a vintage look on our cards, scrapbook pages and other craft projects.  It is so easy to create a distressed appearance with the ink spots, the sanding block, emery board or the files.  I will be showing you some more ways to use this product in my upcoming March newsletter.
