Tea bag folding ... Sunflower design!

Looking for something different to work on today I googled 'teabag folding' and found the Sunflower pattern that I've used on my card.

I used:

• "Wetlands" stamp set
• "Kinda Eclectic" stamp set (w-135347,c-135350)
• Gold Soiree Specialty DSP (133697)

One of my Favourites....

That happened with this card....

• colour combo of Basic Gray, Pool Party and Hello Honey
• Kinda Eclectic stamp set  (w-135347,c-135350)
• Watercolor Wonder washi tape

It's the 'wax seal' technique I used on this card and I think my Real Red stamping club will enjoy making it!
