No New Stuff

Well, I am impatiently waiting on my side of the US (New Hampshire) for my Fall/Winter Preview Brochure preorder to arrive. I did get an SU in tonight, so I decided that I could play with stamp sets that I have that have not seen the light of day -- or an ink pad!

I loved the "Very Punny" SAB set, and all of the cards that everyone on SCS made with it. I was busy with workshops and kids, I guess, and didn't get much time to work with it.

My inspiration was the lady bug, which looked fun, and my giga punch, which I just bought a while back and need to use. I added the dots with a white gel pen (as I've seen so many great gals on SCS do!). Not knowing where to go next, I decided to rummage through my scraps of scrapbook paper to see if I could find some inspiration, and I found some in this great Bo Bunny paper that I had used to do a layout of my twin daughters. The rest came together from there.

It's hard to tell in the image but the Bo Bunny paper is inked in whisper white craft ink, and the entire thing is pierced onto the pretty in pink background paper.
