A First!!

So this is super exciting (for me)! This is the very first time that I have used all the stamps in a single stamp set!! Usually, I use maybe only a few of the major images but all the little accessory stamps never see the topside of an inkpad!! Granted, C.C. Designs Flower Power is only a set of 3 stamps, but still - I used all 3 images!! Eeeeeee!!! I am so easily amused... :)

Anyways, this card is for ATS Wednesday Stamp Challenge, which happened to be a sketch challenge. I used my favorite DP of the moment, October Afternoon Fly a Kite. I sponged the edges of 2 of the DPs along with the Monkey panel with VersaMagic Gingerbread ink. I broke out my new PTI Flower dies to make a fabby little felt embellie. I debated on whether to use blue felt instead of pink felt for the top flower but I thought, why not try breaking out of my normal pattern of matching all the embellie colors, and put an emphasis on 2 different colors in the card? Try something new and mix it up, ya know?

Then I decorated the interior a bit with a simple panel cut from Nestabilities Labels 8 dies. The sentiment is from PaperTreyInk's, and the little flower is the accessory stamp in the Flower Power set.
