Panda Time for Tea

 On Tuesday I shared my project for Topflight Stamps and I told you all that "this week my teammates and I are sharing projects created with products by Time for Tea Designs. However, I got confused and thought that maybe I was supposed to make a tea-themed project. So I made both. However, I'm just sharing one project today because I figured that two projects worth of my instructions would drive any readers completely bonkers." I'm back with the second project, which is a tag that combined both Time for Tea Designs and a tea theme. 

Here it is!
