You're too kind....

I am spoilt for choice with some beautiful new stamp sets at the moment! I am really enjoying using Whimsical words which is one of our Sale-a-bration sets which I received for free! So I knew I had to use this set in my entry for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge 4 which is a colour challenge. The colours are:

Which is exciting for me because I LOVE Kraft cardstock and Rose red is one of my favourite Stampin' Up colours! Woo!

Don't you just love the little More Mustard button? They are so gorgeous. I tied a little linen thread through her and adhered her with a glue dot. The ruffled ribbon was inspired by Lisa Johnston. Isn't that such a great idea? Having the stitching down the sides means you can just pull on the thread to ruffle your ribbon. So easy.
It might be a little tricky to see but for the flowers I stamped them in versamark on Sage shadow and then sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set. So they have a lovely darker tone to them and a nice sheen in real life which the photos haven't really captured.

And here is the final product. A thank you or appreciation card.

Thanks for looking! Happy Stamping!!
