Botanical Congrats

Yesterday I took some time to play with a couple SAB sets that have not seen ink yet...Botanical Blooms and Congrats. Both of these are great sets, but after receiving so many new goodies at once, I haven't had time to use them all yet...so many stamps...so little time! I also used the Delicate Dots paper and the beautiful Saffron grosgrain that is part of the ribbon bundle. I inked the flowers with Saffron and then lightly rock 'n rolled them in Pumpkin ink. The flowers are a 2 step stamp, so for the second line image layer I used my Pumpkin and Celery markers to ink that stamp. Then I just filled in with leaves inked in Celery. For the crowning touch I added a butterfly cut out of Delicate Dots paper using the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die and my Big Shot.

When I logged in here this morning there was a comment from a friend telling me that my Cheep Talk card was featured on one of my favorite blogs, iStamp under Nancy's iPicks - which are some of her favorite projects she sees while blurfing each week. That's pretty cool, huh? Now I'm off to check out the rest of the projects on Nancy's list of iPicks. Have a good one!
