There's not to much I can say about this card really except that it was a bit of inspiration.
My hubby only drinks green tea which I can't stand. I like milk in mine.
One day he bought a packet of white tea. When I looked at that gorgeous packaging I decided I wasn't going to recycle it in the usual way.
I cut it up, die cut a scalloped circle and made it into this card. The heart, which is raised on foam pads is punched out of the box. I stuck it all onto some Kraft card, added a gem and rounded one corner.
I'd like to enter this card into the following three challenges:
Try it on Tuesday blog "Tea Cups or Mugs"
Sister Act Card Challenge #112
Creative Fingers Challenge #85
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Thank you Chris, Sirkkis, Susi, Zandra & Avril for your kind comments. I'm very happy to be playing on TIOT. Barbxx
A cool way of recycling packaging, Barb. Very effective. We had some rather posh Thai ready meals once and I did zentangle all over the packaging and sent photos to the company, and they put them in their staff news letter! You can see them here:
