If you miss a day, you can go back and comment on each day's blogs, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning.

Today we are featuring the "Floral Tea" stamp set:
For this month's blog hop, I decided not to make any standard-sized cards.  The "Floral Tea" stamp set has so many uses.  Today, I decorated a tall bandage box by EK Success.  This tin is the perfect size for for tea bags.  It can be used to a gift for tea-lovers or even to keep on your desk at work to store tea bags.  I used patterned paper to wrap around the tin then I punched Bravo Burgundy paper with a Martha Stewart punch for the upper and lower borders.  I stamped the tea cup onto patterned paper then colored it in with Copic markers.  To complete the tin, I added the sentiment and half-pearls to simulate steam.
