YTPC: Stamping/Painting Tea Bags

For this swap we'll be rubber stamping/painting on used, dried tea bag papers. The tutorial can be found HERE

I noticed that she left the bags whole, using a slit to remove the tea. You may do that OR you may cut open the tea bags and use the whole surface--either way is fine.

These make gorgeous additions to art journals or greeting cards. The paper is so delicate and already tea-stained ;+)

You'll send 2 tea bags to 2 partners for a total of 4 total.

The tutor uses two different techniques: one where she colors the paper, then stamps; another where she stamps and then paints into the stamp. TRY to make 1 of each style for each partner but if 1 technique isn't working for you, it's ok to do two of the same style. It's just fun to try new things, isn't it?

Feel free to use any paint/color medium you choose (watercolors, gelatos, acrylic paint, etc)
