Polly (peeps321) gave us the challenge of using tea to dye and create a vintage card. I don't listen well and ended up with another Asian style card. There is a teapot though! The image was stamped with Archival Ink onto a fibrous paper with embedded botanicals. The pot and bird were masked before the bamboo was stamped with a wood mounted HA stamp. The little gold dragonfly is an orphan earring.

This is such a serene image, I love the stamps you chose and the texture on the paper, as well as the torn images! Wouldn't you know it, I have a single of the same earring! LOL, we could have made a pair. Genius to use it, now I'm going to go through the jewellry box and see what orphans I have! Lovely card!

I like both versions of your card, but this one really caught my eye with the red frame. Sweet bird image and neat effect with the frayed edges of the paper. Clever use of the orphan earring - it is the perfect finishing touch here. Lovely card!
