I decided to create a card-box (the box is actually adhered to the inside of the card....so it also looks like a book on the outside). One of my favorites from the past (an oldie but a goodie). I filled the box with Darjeeling Tea and Chinese 5 Spice blend. The 5 spice blend is easy to make if you just grind together (use those little mortar grinding bowls):
1 tsp Cinnamon, ground
1 tsp Cloves, ground
1 tsp Fennel seed, toasted and ground
1 tsp Star anise, ground
1 tsp Szechuan peppercorns, toasted and ground
Hope you're having fun being inspired by our site today. Please try and create something fresh and new today with us - there is so much exciting inspiration there!
Hugs,
Audrie

Such beauty with so little needed. Love the lettering, too. This is a very special card. actually, I'm not sure I'd be as generous as you with your Asian inspired works of art. These look to be keepers to me. Beautiful.
