"Linen" is the Saturday's Workout theme for the week, and I made a tea mailer for this challenge. The inside of the card opens to a pocket on the right which is the perfect size to hold a single tea bag, with "to" and "from" information stamped on the left. The card folds and ties closed (left).
Substrate for the card is Bazzill cardstock. The background paper is coated laser printer paper which was treated with marmalade and antique linen distress inks brayered on at right angles, roughed-up, then dried. Background paper was cut to size, and and a variety of stamps were used with black Versafine ink, including: Urban Lily's "message area", Crafty Secrets "to" and "from", and several from Rhona Farrer's "swirls V" collection. Studio G's "just for you" was stamped onto a scrap of Bazzill, cut out and mounted to the front of the card with dimensional tape. Star brads are from Close to my Heart.
I'm working my way backward through challenges I missed because of a busy weekend. Have a great day, Everyone!
