I loved Beate's choice for the inspiration piece. Pretty, soft, spring-y colors! I wanted to do the baby-wipe technique to keep the softness there, so I needed a bold flower image. I picked Sending Happy Thoughts for that. I think it made a tropical looking card! I used Soft Sky for the base, a very thin layer of Chocolate Chip card stock for the mat and then Whisper White for the main image. I used Barely Banana, So Saffron and the retired Buckaroo Blue ink refills dripped onto a baby wipe to be used as my ink pad. The only *thing* is you have to clean the stamp each time, which gets tedious. I paper-pierced two rows on the White sheet and put that part at the bottom. (Had to play with my new Mat Pack that I FINALLY got!) Then I tied some White Grosgrain and stamped a greeting from the retired Happy Harmony set, in Chocolate Chip ink.
