For Sabrina's way to use it- Two for Tea/anything with tea or Letter T.
I printed a trillium flower from the internet and used it to trace the image onto a teabag with a pencil.
I watercolored the flower on the teabag, alternating drying and additional watercoloring for end result.
I then stained the entire teabag panel by stippling tea with paint brush and dried with heat gun.
Edged panel with Delicata Gold Glitz ink and also sentiment panel.
Die cut, stamped images with SU crumb cake ink and colored with comic markers. Belt buckle is with gold glitter gel pen.
Added gold decorative ribbon to right side of panel and then adhered all pieces with gluestick. Sentiment is popped up with foam dots.
This is for our terrific friend recovering from brain surgery, and will be celebrating his 60th birthday in early May.
He's an avid mushroom hunter/lover, and has these trillium growing in the woods of their 14 acres.

What a wonderful looking Trillium! The white ones are the provincial flower of Ontario but I especially love the purple 'Wake Robins' that bloom earlier in the bush at the cottage. You have really captured their colour! This card shows so much creativity in meeting the challenge. What really makes it special are the elements that will be meaningful for your friend. Super card!
