Going eigh-tea

This is the first card where I used tea bag folding. I have to admit that it took a couple of trials – and errors – to grasp the idea of this technique and to achieve clean folds and rosettes but I had fun learning.

I punched squares from muted violet-patterned paper and made them into a rosette with double-sided tape. I fixed the rosette on white paper and backed the whole piece with blue paper before attaching it on the bottom left corner of the card blank. I backed the flourish on the card blank with the same blue paper and trimmed the edge with a strip of peel-off. I added the recipient's age on the card front with peel-offs.
