Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop

Howdy!  Today is the 20th and that means it's time for another TE Blast From the Past Blog Hop!  This month's theme is clean and simple - clean lines, lots of white space, limited layering, and a single focal image.  Clean & simple??  Yes please!  I love the look of clean and simple!

I started by stamping the tea pot from CreativiTEA in Colorbox Rose Coral on Choice Buttercream cardstock.  The patterned paper is none other than Stella & Rose Hazel by My Mind's Eye (can't get enough of it!) and I added a little Latte Pearl on the top of the tea pot.

Thanks so much for stopping by today - please keep going along the hop and see all these talented stampers' clean and simple creations -





recipe -
stamps: creativitea (taylored expressions)
paper: kraft, choice buttercream (taylored expressions) cardstock, stella & rose hazel (my mind's eye)
ink: colorbox rose coral & dark brown fluid chalk
accessories: labels 9 nestabilities (spellbinders), latte pearls (kaisercraft)
