I made a tea bag baggie using my Waltzing mouse stamps ... the PicNic set.  This is the first time I have made a tea bag baggie, and I am still VERY new to WM stamps ... loving them though :)  I stamped the daisy pattern a couple of times onto the cardstock and inked the edges of the tea bag baggie.  I stamped the flowers onto another peice of cardstock and inked it.  I stamped Get Well Soon onto the baggie label and inked the edges.  Finally i closed the bag using some ribbon.

Challenges:
Waltzing mouse 2nd Birthday tea party
 Charisma Cardz - Under the weather
A Spoonful of Sugar - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - bloom and grow
For Fun - get well card
And as it is Wednesday it is time to have a good snoop through the crafty desks in blogland, hosted by the fabulous Julia.
I recieved my set of Simply Sassys 7 from Sugar Nellie today, and had to ink them up ...

 But I thought I would have a go at stamping onto kraft paper to see the effect ... in both black and sepia.

Which then led to a colouring session to find out the medium I like best ... loved the prismas with sansador, and the distress inks worked well too with a bit of patientce ... pens .. yuck!!!!!
If you want to see the finished card .. .it is here.

Love those stamps on the Kraft paper.

I love seeing people experiment, it makes a desk super ultra interesting to explore and such a good way to share ideas.

The stamped images would, indeed, take anyone away from the ironing for an afternoon of colouring...
