Time for Tea...

"It's Time for Tea" was provided by The Paper Shelter [TPS]
the sentiment is word art by Ginny H from Aud Sentiments
This is my project for the most recent Challenge at Aud Sentiments.  The theme is to Use a TWO or THREE Word Sentiment. Our sponsor is The Paper Shelter and they are offering a $15.00 Gift Certificate for the winner!  This is the last week of the challenge - you can submit up to 5 entries for a chance for the prize!  I encourage you to take a look at my teammates' projects - these women have some absolutely inspired projects to get you motivated!  Check out their artwork and get your project in before Tuesday Nov 4!

I enjoy Steampunk, so there was no doubt this would be the image I chose to use.  I started with a 5.5 x 6" red CS base on which I layered the DP from the Idea-ology Paper Pad.  The image was printed and colored with Copics, the flourish and leaves were fussy cut off the edge of the panel .  Distress Inks were used to sponge color on to the tag and to distress the edges of the DP and sentiment circle.  The sentiment was printed, punched out in a size that would fit the center of a clock & adhered with foam tape to elevate it a bit.  I chose four gears from my stash, colored them with Distress Ink before gluing them down.

  4. Hi Ginny,

    Thanks for entering the challenge, I love your card.

    Your entry was in moderation, I have approved it now. I have managed to fix the problem with back link, and we have a steady stream of entries and no complaints for the last two challenges, since I cracked it, until yours.
    In order to be entered without problem you only need to add a link to Quirky to your post before you try and link your project, I am not sure if you are saying you did this. If you didn't it might explain the messages and that it went to moderation.
