Mushy Thanks

I made this card using happy you hostess set, dot dot dot background stamp, and fresh vintage SAB set. I stamped the dot dot dot pattern in sahara sand ink on whisper white cardstock and matted with pool party and early espresso cardstocks. I stamped the background patterns from the fresh vintage set on pool party cardstock in sahara sand ink and matted both with early espresso; adhered to card and tied crumb cake seam binding ribbon. Stamped the mushroom in early espresso, colored with blender pen and inks then matted with scallop circle in early espresso. Punched 1/2" circle in crumb cake, and itty bitty flower in pool party. Added brown rhinestone.
 SUPPLIES:
cardstock - early espresso, pool party, whisper white
ink - early espresso, sahara sand, river rock, baja breeze, crumb cake
stamps - dot dot dot, fresh vintage SAB, happy you (hostess)
misc - 2 3/8" scallop circle, 1 3/4" circle, 1/2" circle, itty bitty shapes punches; seam binding ribbon, brown pearl rhinestones
