Hi there!! I'm trying to stay cool,calm and collected but I'm just SO excited to meet all the people coming to the KSS stamp event!! Maria and Lisa are arriving on Thursday. Lynn gets here on Friday!! WOOHOO:) Today I used the Multi Step Tulip Garden and Words of Comfort & Joy sets.
With all the preperation for this coming week I went with a clean and simple design. The buttons are strung all on one line of linen thread. I used glue dots under each button to hold in place. The inks I used for the tulip are
- Rose Red stamped off x1
- Rose Red
- Cranberry Crisp stamped off x1
- Cranberry Crisp
- Mellow Moss
- Artichoke stamped off x1
- Artichoke

What a beautiful and perfect tulip, Dee! I love that subtle shading around the edges of the Nestie, and the buttons on the linen thread. I like these two Nestie shapes together, too. You must have been having a pretty fun time the last couple of days! Very exciting!
