Tim Holtz tag of April: mosaic cups

So I haven't been around for the 

tags much this year...so many other projects to do,

but I did not want to muss out on the

April tag(maybe doing the others

another time) For all the technique

explanations please go and see all the

details on the blog of

Tim Holtz.

This month I just love the mosaic technique

and from my birthday money I bought one

of these mosaic kits with all the essentials to

do the technique. It works perfect!

Although I loved Tim's bird too,I decided

the cups were also great for this technique

and why not a tea theme this time

(yes, I do drink tea too!)

This is the background I made for the tag

(using the original technique with stamping

with acrylic paint that works as a resist).

The splatter and the coffee ring are 

Tim Holtz stamps too. The are from set

mini muse CMS063 (coffee rings)

bitty grunge CMS089 (splatter)

I love the arrow with the tea bag, it looks so cute!

I think there are many moments people collect over 

a cup of tea or coffee,don't you?!

And here are the cups. The are cut with the Sizzix 

Tea Time die. I colored the groud with 

faded jeans distress ink to give the cups a blue 

background.

Thank you for looking!

Have a creative day!
