Hello everyone.
I'm back with another Time for Tea Designs card project. I am using the Time for Tea Designs Squeeze the Day stamp set and coordinating dies to create this project.
The card size is A2 (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock. These two details about my cards rarely change.
Focal Image
These adorable critters are from the T4TD Squeeze the Day stamp set. Looking at this card makes me want a tropical rum drink. To color them, I wanted to play with my colored pencils. I was watching the kids color with pencils this past weekend and I wanted to play too. I used waterproof black ink to stamp my images onto heavyweight white cardstock. I used a ton of pencils to color this image and it did take me a few days. Colored pencil coloring is time consuming but worth it. I love the results.
Sentiment
I stamped the sentiment also from the T4TD Squeeze the Day stamp set in the same black ink as the images. Both the background image and the sentiment are stamped directly onto the white card panel.
Embelishments
The front image and the trio of hearts are popped up using various heights of dimensional foam tape. I love love love dimension and use it every chance I get. Do you see her little pearl earring? That is a little tiny pearl from and old sheet of various size adhesive pearls. This was the smallest size and it fit perfectly. You could also use a bead in this situation.
I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Squeeze the Day Stamp set and coordinating dies in the T4TD shop.

By the link 1950s, WWII was over, and the world was getting back link to business as usual. With that link came three of the most well-known tuxedo dial watches: The Universal Genève Polerouter (née Polarouter), the LeCoultre Memovox Wrist Alarm Tuxedo, and the Tudor Oyster Prince Tuxedo. Each watch is different, but they're all tied together by the sleek and classic design of the tuxedo dial.
A little more off the beaten path, OMEGA released a limited edition Speedmaster Mark II in 2014 to commemorate the 2016 link Rio de Janeiro Games. This is my personal favorite OMEGA × Olympic watch. It takes the link funky and off-beat '70s aesthetic that the Mark II reissue (also released link in 2014) excelled at, and adds in just a touch of esoteric Olympic spirit. Here, that takes the form of the sub-dial rings, each register is surrounded by an actual 18k yellow gold, 925 silver, or bronze ring.
