Starburst Sayings and Hardwood

I am not usually fond of background stamps, mostly because I have a hard time getting a crisp image with them.  But...I love this Hardwood stamp from the Occasions catalog.  This was my first attempt and it is lovely!  

Recipe:

Stamps:  Starburst Sayings

Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar, Pool Party

Paper:  Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar card stock;Retro Fresh DSP

Accessories:  Starburst Framelit dies,Banner dies, Edgelit die, Vintage Faceted Designer buttons, Linen Thread

Sadie had to make a Valentine box for school and of course it had to be a Minion.  She used the Banner Punch for teeth, the eye is an empty button container and she wrapped a strip of Silver Foil Paper around it.  The mouth is cut out and that will be the opening for the Valentines.  She was so proud of it!
