HOT DRINKS..DT

 Hello everyone,

Wednesday means time for a new challenge over at Little Red Wagon and this week its our lovely JanR 's turn to be hostess and her them is...Tea, Earl Grey, Hot - any hot drinks so go for it, any hot drink in any form or design you want, draw it, die cut it, water colour, anything you want..

I, ( of course ) went with die cutting..


First - papers and using up my stash..
Lovely rusty looking grungy papers..


and tags six of them..


and someone not paying attention as my bed called her in, 
first time of the season and apparently the last, 
she back in the craftroom squashing my papers in my trolley!!


So tags covered, not hard to do, 


inked and spattered..


Then using my arch die, I cut just the tops of these papers



and added them on the bottom..


added reading labels or cards on the back,
 wished I had done that different, 
but they are what they are..


On the fronts added die cut letters spelling BOOKS


And these fine ribbon things, 
were necklaces from the cheap shop and I've saved them for years..


so they went through the tops.
also die cut some books and gold leafed the edges with a pen..


and added  die cut TH cups and saucers of coffee and tea. with steam.
they are fun to mix and match the layers for colours but they are pretty small.


and there you go, 6 tags / bookmarks ready for the shop..


So come on over and play with your hot beverages


Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll see you again soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Oh, these are awesome, Chrissy!!! I love how they all came together and your coffee die-cuts are just the perfect finishing touch. I like as well how you've used your inexpensive necklaces. What an excellent idea and they look great.

Very cool, I do like the stack of books with the coffee cup on top with the steam rising :) Like the rusty background, the big bold books words stand out great against it!

Fab bookmark/book list tags, Chrissy. Love how you added the arched papers to the bottom with the books and coffee. Great way to use up those ribbons, too. xoxo

These bookmarks are super fun with those grundy papers! The dies work perfectly with them and it looks like Holly is ready to cozy up herself while you use one of those bookmarks! LOL
