Color Throwdown #1

Oh my gosh... I am totally addicted to stamping!! I drove all the way from Maine to New Hampshire today just so I could get my stamping stuff.  Partly because I have several assignments due, but also because I saw so many beautiful cards using the Color Throwdown challenge that I couldn't take it anymore and had to create something!!  Please tell me I am not the only one who do something like this :)

Actually I'm glad I did because I had a big box of Odd Bird Planet stuff sitting in my driveway :)  I ordered one of the Lime Tart kits that Johanna is now offering through her on-line store.  It used to be that they were only available in Australia and every month I would drool over the design teams projects wishing it wasn't so expensive to have one come to the US. Now that's changed and I can order them through Odd Bird Planet.  I'm pretty happy about it because I really dig kits :)

Here's a pic of the kit I got, the "Half Tart"

So, let me you tell you about my card now :)

The stamps are from two Inque Boutique sets I got from the Purple Turtle Stamp Shoppe called "Isn't it Romantic" and Stephanie Barnard - Mini - Thank You.   I took a photograph of the stamps so you could see what they look like.  The flourish on the left side of the picture is the engraved rubber side of the stamps and the flower, leaf and dots show the reverse side which has the printed image and sticks onto your acrylic block.  Very cool.
