Makeover Monday #4 and Critter sketch Challenge #91

Here is my card for the challenge at Makeover Monday this week.  A dear friend at work is retiring tomorrow.  She loves tea so I made my background with different tea related items.  On looking at challenges I am also going to post on the Critter Sketch Challennge.  The challenge there was monochromatic.  Beings green is my favorite color that is what I picked for my friend's card.
