I used a piece of printed kraft for my base and added some black archival around the edge, and an extra few smears. I cut two Die-Namites Windy Wheat die from kraft card and added some chocolate ink. The burlap is a piece Kay sent me that I have been hoarding. Thanks Kay. Hugz. The little tea bag pocket was a free gift with an order from Unity Stamp Co. I stamped the sentiment, masked it, and stamped the image from Crafty Individuals Tea Tree stamp set. I added some strands from the burlap and a maple leaf brad to the tea pocket. I have simplified the sketch and thought it needed a little more so I used the sentiment stamp to go around the edge of the card.
Here's a close up of the tea pocket. I decided to keep with the colour scheme and added a chocolate tea bag to my tea pocket. This one doesn't have a little string so I added a burlap thread loop.

Adorable card, I love the idea of tucking a tea bag into the front pocket. Thanks for playing along with the Die-namites Sketch & Dare Challenge.
Very neat idea. As a tea drinker also that would be a great little gift idea to that friend who just needs a smile.
What a cool idea! I have a friend who loves tea! I'll have to try to incorporate this into a card!
