'Iced' Tea for Two

Good morning everyone!  It's a lovely day outside with beautiful sunshine, but it's even nicer inside where it's nice and cool....another hot steamy day today!  Must mean it's time to play.....


I played a bit in photo shop with this one....shrinking the digi image and adding the circle border sentiment before printing.  The image, called Tea for Two, from Just Inklined is another one of their many fun designs, useful for so many occasions.

A lot of distressing this time, along with some stamping and a cardstock branch cut on my Silhouette.  Going for a jungle scene here!  The flowers are picking up the colours from the DP, and I've added liquid pearls and stickles.  For something different, while still wet and sticky I've dropped some micro beads into the mix.  This worked quite well for a bit of extra sparkle!

Other stamps used:  Foliate Cube from Stampendous, Recreate Yourself from Stampotique, the birthday circle sentiment was a freebie from Digital Design Divas.

Thanks again for visiting, and your lovely comments.  Have yourselves a wonderful day!

    Just love the distressed look to this one Joyce. Gorgeous colours and great bit of work in Photoshop.
    Now it seems to me you spent that long cold winter talking about snow and ice and wanting it to go and now you are talking about being cool and 'iced' tea. It's never far away from you is it?
    Take care.
    luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
