Echo Park papers just make me happy! I bought the three original sets and am loving them--I even love the stickers (and I never love the stickers!). I had some scraps out on my desk from a recent project and I noticed that they fit Dawn's
Color Cue 8 perfectly. I also wanted to play in the
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge and shazam--everything came together like magic.
Wheeee!!! The flowers are from Waltzingmouses's Pic-nic Patterns and the sentiment is from their Rescue Remedies Additions. I used Colorbox chalk ink in Lime Pastel, Dark Brown, and Maroon (I'm having a Chalk Ink Renassaince after making my ink color chart: sure they stain your clear stamps, but they stamp so vividly!). Each flower head is popdotted, and each strip is pop dotted. The button on the Nestie Label 4 is also scarlet, with some fab yellow embroidery thread.
And wait, there's more happiness! I was so happy when not one, but two! Emilies awarded me this:
