- So, I had stamped a piece of vintage cream cardstock with my Tin Types background, in Ocean Tides ink. Then it sat.
- I walked by it a day later, and punched out five butterflies. They sat.
- A week later, I stamped this piece of Kraft cardstock with my woodgrain stamp. Guess what...Yep, it sat around too.
- After another week, I thought I should get those pieces off my desk and focus on finishing the card. I cut the base of Ocean Tides cs and the rest of the card came together in no time. I love the Dark Chocolate button I found in my stash. I rubbed a little vintage cream ink over it to show the texture.

I love what you did with the button.
Oh Sara, I really enjoyed reading your process. You really ARE unhurried. I'm jealous. Your card is very pleasing to the eye and the vintage button is cool. I really like how you rubbed ink on it to show off the nooks and crannies.
You brought all your elements together so beautifully Sara. I also enjoyed reading your cardmaking process. And hey it's the finished results that matter, not how long the items sat! Enjoy your unhurried life! :o)
and it came out terrific. What a beautiful composition!
Wow Sara, you definitely do have an unhurried life! I'm the complete opposite - I can't leave something alone until it's completely finished, it would keep me awake at night!
This card is lovely. All your elements came together so well and are really harmonious. I really love those butterflies!
I want to use your approach. I can't leave it alone until I have it done. Your patience payed off because the card is so pretty.

I loved reading about your process Sara! I can really relate - it's usually over about 24 hours, but I also punch a bit, stamp a bit drape ribbon for a bit..... :0) I like the way this turned out! The woodgrain looks fabulous as the background and the melon/ocean tides combo is sooooo pretty!
