Challenge #28: Time for Tea

Last week we had cake..... so this week we are having tea. OK... not real tea, but I'm sure you will enjoy this challenge. It is a very creative way to add a special touch to a card or lay out. Please try it and if you find that you are getting frustrated with all the folding, put it away for a day and try again. I promise you will love the end result. There are various tutorial on tea bag folding but this is one that I and some of the DT members used Tea Bag Folding-Circle of Crafters

Steph (also a tutorial on her blog)
