This week's DCM dare, set by Mel, invites us to 'Take a break' and incorporate a tea bag or coffee sachet into our cards.
My Tanda Retro Ladies stamps had to make another appearance - two weeks running they've had the perfect stamp for the dare!
I made a little tea bag holder using the "Tea Lady" stamp. It's an Earl Grey tea bag and as they always seem slightly citrusy to me, I stamped some lemons inside the holder, too. I've left the inside of the front flap blank for writing a little message.
Supplies: Retro Ladies Plate 2 (Tanda Stamps), lemon stamp (unknown maker), Quiet stamp (Alluring Impressions), Classic Little Alphabet stamps, tiny tag punch, brown marker pen, Clearnsnap fluid chalk ink Dark Brown, Tim Holtz Distress ink Old Paper and Antique Linen, Prismacolor pencil, piercer, Prism paper Birchtone Light
Time to take a break, I think - thanks for taking a look!

I love the 50s feel of the stamp. Very retro!
Great take on the Dare, love that card and stamp.
such a cute stamp ,it takes you back.
mm Earl Grey citrus smell ( but perfume taste I find)
I'm a fruity girl but definately NOT an Earl Grey girl! It's the smell of the bergamot oil that puts me off, a little too perfumed for my liking I'm afraid (DH likes it though)
Love the card Joanne. VERY appropriate. I can almost imagine the kettle boiling as I type.
