I am just coming up for a little air before I dive back into my craft room.  My box of new stamping goodies arrived yesterday and the paper and ribbon are flying everywhere!   So much fun and I cannot wait to share what I am making with you!  

If you follow my blog you know that I love flower stamps.  Yes, I am giving up and  just accepting that I love floral images and I am going to buy them.  No more questioning  do I really need another flower set.  Acceptance is the name of this game.   So, when I saw the Regarding Dahlias (130327) set I was sold.

Isn't that just a stunning dahlia image?  I only wish my coloring was as beautiful as the image.   Now for the wild card.  When I order from a new catalog I look for a set that I like but is not a conventional choice for me, I call it my wild card.   I enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out ways to use it.  My wild card is the Background Builders set(129150).  It has a lot of potential and I look forward  to figuring out how to really use it. 

Stamps: Regarding Dahlias (130327), Background Basics (129150)
Ink: Calypso Coral, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White, Shimmery White, Wild Wasabi

Okay ,the call of the new stamps and accesories is getting too loud so I best get back to the craft table!  Until I surface again,  did  you know that I  have a Facebook page? Go and check it out  (https://www.facebook.com/astheinkdries).
