You're Tea-rrific card



I made this card recently for an Instagram friend to thank her for her encouragement on my cards.  She makes excellent cards so it's always fun to get inspired from her creations.  I added in some tea packets since we both live up in the cold north part of the world.  These little mice are so cute.  I stuck to soft colors and made all my mice the same color, unlike the packaging they came with.
